Video: Basking Shark Spotted In Florida

Amazing bit of footage of a basking shark swimming just off the Panama City Beach in Florida — what's amazing is a kayaker is seen paddling straight over it and later said he was unaware the shark was even there. The person who identified himself as the kayaker in this video says the kayak is 14-feet long, so that gives you a perspective on the shark's size.

A rare treat for sightseers and fishermen in Panama City Beach, Florida last week as a basking shark was spotted off the Bay County Pier. Captain Linda Cavitt was ready with her video camera as a shark swam in close to a kayaker.

The kayaker seen paddling above the shark didn’t have anything to worry about. Basking sharks are not dangerous to man, they only eat plankton.
