Rare shark spotted off Panama City Beach

Wow!  This was taken off of the pier that you see from our balcony.  I walk over there often.  What a freak-out this would be!

"A shark, believed to be a basking shark, is seen off the Russell-Fields Pier on Thursday afternoon. Officials say that type of shark is not a danger to people and is rarely seen in this region."

Having done some swimming with sharks, even tho small ones, in the Bahamas, I find they are kinda like lawyers.... you can't really trust them all the time. I'd prefer to see if from the pier, not at eye level in the water!
