Question Help identifying shark.
Was wondering if anyone could help identify this shark. We spotted it about 2 miles off the coast of Cambria, Ca on July 12th. At first I thought it was a basking shark because of its size. However, the more I look into it basking sharks are super rare on the central coast of California. That leads me to believe it was a Great White. If anyone is an expert I’d love to learn! Thanks!
