My buddy Capt. Mike Bartlett sent me this photo of a mid size whale shark he spotted while fishing off Key West. They're rare in those waters but not totally uncommon. Since whale sharks are the ocean's largest fish they have no real predators and are unafraid of humans. They best part about spotting one off the Keys is that they're ususally followed by a school of delicious cobia, which can be caught with ease. Whale sharks are totally protected and even if you had a cargo winch for tackle they only eat plankton. It's really hard to bait a hook with a plankton.
