For most people, an up-close encounter with a whale shark -- the largest fish in the sea -- is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. For one Florida fisherman, however, it’s becoming a once-a-month occurrence.
For most people, an up-close encounter with a whale shark -- the largest fish in the sea -- is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.For the second time in roughly three weeks, Cory Kauffman of Ft. Walton Beach had an encounter with a whale shark, this one about 30 feet in length, he said, larger thanKaufman was in a similar location earlier this week, about 3-4 miles south of Destin Pass, when he spotted the larger whale shark.
But the dolphins weren’t alone. Gracefully swimming alongside, at the surface, was the whale shark, with the dolphins visible between the whale shark and the coast of Destin, as seen in the video Kauffman sent to AL.com. The sightings of whale sharks of the coast of the Florida Panhandle are at their highest level since 2009, according to the University of Southern Mississippi’s Center for Fisheries Research and Development.
