Clearly it is a Basking Shark. Talk about failure to collect all the facts. Just because it is a blue shark and big does not mean it's a BLUE shark. *sigh* Blue shark?….I think not.

You will see clearly that this is a Basking Shark. If this is a Megamouth--which it isn't--it would be the biggest Megamouth ever seen.

It definitly is a mega mouth, we have one out here in California at the natural history museum that is dead and it looks a lot like that!!

It would be a mega mega world record. Even bigger than the biggest great white ever caught. Though....looking at his head. It doesn't appear to be a basking shark. If they opened it's mouth we would be sure.... really weird. Hi Sharky,

Most Chinese don't even know that Shark Fin Soup is threatening the entire ocean ecosystem. Shark Fin in Chinese is literally translated into something silly like "fish wing."
