Wow. Seems like being in the water with that would feel like a T-rex walking by you on land. I can hardly even imagine it.

I dived with Walker's Friday and Sunday, timing is everything. Get out there and look around. We had a couple of nice Bull Sharks on Governor's Riverwalk on Friday, but no Great White.

Based on the footage and comments I've seen from people who were on The Wetter the Better, the 20 ft bit is exaggerated - some estimated it way smaller at about 12 ft; I'd aim a bit higher at 15 +/-1 (and definitely either pregnant or well fed). 20 ft would be something in the Deep Blue/Haole Girl/Scarboard weight class, and those ladies truly would remind me of a dinosaur.

Size estimates aside, definitely still worth the anguished FOMO reaction I had yesterday afternoon and I'm extremely jealous of my two friends who got to see that beauty yesterday.

Look at that belly!!!! She's a beast!

I bet having something that unexpected show up would really get your heart pumping.

Farewell and adieu to you, fair Spanish ladies. Farewell and adieu, you ladies of Spain...
