- Insane footage of an estimated 16-18 shark submitted by John Hyams. John and his crew were fishing the Poorman's Canyon out of Ocean City, MD when they saw what looks like a great white approach in flat calm seas. Estimated weight on a shark of this length is 1,500 to 2,000 pounds.

That is a basking shark. They look like great whites but they don't have teeth. I can see how you mistook it for a great white but it was most definitely a basking shark
You are correct sir!
No it's a great white. Not a baking soda shark.
If it's on RUclips then it must be true
It’s a basking shark! Still an awesome sight!
Came here to say this!
That is no doubt a basking shark.
The first giveaway in knowing it's a basking shark rather than a Great White is the rounded dorsal fin. Best way to tell the difference between the two from a distance. Either way it is a great day to see one close up like that.
And the gills go almost the whole way around its head
Even the Shark couldn't stand the music that was playing.
I know all my sharks and that is a basking shark, A gentle giant animal just like the whale shark
That looked nothing like a basking... nose, no spots, movement, etc...
@@donnaturner4795 it is a Basking shark u nimrod
@donnaturner4795 whale sharks have spots, not basking sharks. The dorsal is round, and the jaw isn't right for a white shark.
@@Jamesthegirl721 i stand corrected...
I love listening to the shark experts on the boat. They couldn't tell a shark from a sting ray.
Basking shark... Look at jaw line... Dorsal fin also...
yeah, we get lots of basking sharks here in Cornwall, England. massive and majestic big softies
You are very fortunate to see such a beautiful animal on such a flat calm day. Great video.
Basking shark. Piling on at this point.
LMAOOOOOO. That’s a Basking Shark. If you pause it right when it goes from 0:53 to 0:54, you can not only see the unusual shape of the basking shark’s head, but you can also see those gill slits that go almost all the way to the top midline of the shark’s head. Also, basking sharks have all those freckle-like spots where great whites usually don’t have those same patches along their bodies. You can also see that this shark has a much more rounded dorsal fin, where the great white’s are super sharp/triangular, and the basking shark’s dorsal fin doesn’t start right where the pectorals end, like a great white’s does. There is a bit farther back… and their back half, from the dorsal fin to the tail looks pretty skinny, where a great white’s is usually a bit bulkier, until you get to the tail fin, and then it gets a bit narrower.
Didn't u see the head on it ?? Basking shark dudes.
beautiful! tx for such lovely footage.
So true!!! That definitely is a Basking Shark. The second largest shark in the world, right after the Whale Shark.
Poorman’s Canyon is 60 miles due east from the Ocean City Maryland beaches. It’s not like basking sharks are setting up off of Secrets so swimmers can take pics while enjoying the beach.
So this is what yall be listening to out there? Never woulda thunk lol right on boys! OC local here 😊
Thanks for sharing.
Yup, thats a pretty big Basking shark. I'd keep fishing
So f'n awesome!!!
Such a rare experience seeing one of nature's gentle giants!!!
So lucky! You could have swam w it! Basking sharks don’t eat people 😂
That’s a Basking Shark
Cool video and much thanks for holding your phone sideways for video recording. Well done.
Thank you too
Basking shark … but the size isn’t getting justice from the camera … I saw an 8-foot mako off the side of a fishing boat and thought it was gigantic … these animals are pure power and their size is incredible
The sounds people make when the hull of a boat is the only difference between being amazed and being food
That was a basking Shark....a male by indicated by the two claspers on his underside near this tail
They always said the water so clear off the coast of ocean city but I never knew there were sharks that big out there
I will reiterate what many have already said , That Is A Basking Shark.
Whats up with that playlist yo??
Looking at the top of its head you can tell it's a basking shark
Basking shark
Right On
Basking Shark
Basking shark.
Ha! Yeah that's why I stay close to the shore. lol Great footage & soundtrack though. #JayZ
Basking shark, no doubt
We need a bigger boat!
Right even though it's a Basking Shark I counted 3 dudes plus the 1 recording on that little ass boat, if it was a great White Shark I would've gotten the hell outta there with that little ass bout and four people with NOOOO room to move around, because a great White Shark as big as that Basking Shark could have turned that little boat damn near over and it would've been circling that boat for the fresh bleeding 🩸fish they were catching.
basking shark
Absolutely beautiful creature! And definitely NOT a Great White. A beautiful Basking Shark.
That was a basking shark not a great white
basking
Definitely a basking shark. Very big, very harmless as they are plankton eaters.
going in July.
Can everyone stop commenting “that’s a basking shark…”? they clearly didn’t realize and i think they know now. people don’t have to keep commenting what it is, i think they got it.
Everyone has to be a know it all. Too bad RUclips can’t hand out cookies for their accomplishments
That was a basking shark
Basking Shark, NOT a Great White!!!
“You’re gonna need a bigger boat” Geezus that thing was massive!
Basking shark - similar diet to whales and the whale shark. Not dangerous and is not a predator
It's not a great white shark
Not "giant"at all. That's a small-to-average sized basking shark. No teeth, filter feeder. Totally harmless.
Basking Shark.
Basking
Not a white shark
Shark isn’t scary, music selection is though.
Love the tunes...ja rule... keeping it real...haaaaa
That's jay z
LOL
Megalodon 😂
It’s a fucking Basking Shark
Imagine my captain playing that shit music on my deep sea fishing trip.. 🤨
Mega mouth shark not a great white shark
💯🎯✔️🦈💕‼️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🦈💕🎣🎣
Not a white, need to change that. Not even close to a giant either. Basking sharks reach 45-50 feet. That's just a baby.
Definitely a basking, but any shark 3/4 the length of the boat is a giant.
@@FishinOC Boat length is immaterial. It's one third the length of an adult of the species. Sorry, not a giant. Your reasoning is like a house cat saying a 12 year old girl is a giant.
@@eugenerandle3514 to a house cat a 12 year old girl could be a giant. It's about perspective. Is a 17' basking shark a giant compared to how big they can get? Perhaps not, but to some guys fishing in a 25' boat I think so. They called it a giant so I'm taking there word for it.
A little far south for a Basking isn't it .
......No Marine life knowledge......
Hes curious if gay guys taste as good as straight guys. I would have to say gay guys. We have tastes
It was not marked like a basking shark.
Whale sharks have markings not basking. Whale sharks have what I like to call freckles.
You can tell by the shape of dorsal fin, tail, the head and under color markings that it was not a great white
Its a great white. Yep, no no no not a baking soda shark
Funny boy! Not a great white or baking soda shark.
@jhenry0688 love me just love me. I need I need I sail now I sail.
Imagine our in the Beautiful Open Ocean that GOD has provided for our Pleasure and you gotta Listen to that Trash on the Boat.😫
What? A fisherman exaggerating the size of a fish? No way!
