Post-session
Slightly bigger. Same conditions/form.
One interesting thing: nice, big shark. It had been several feet away from me lurking just below the surface. A friend of mine also said he had seen it right next to him. But both of us didn't realize what it was because the water was cloudy. We thought it was a branch or frond because it was brown.
Then another friend saw it clearly through a wave. He said it was pointed straight at him angled down and that the snout looked to be about a foot and a half across. Based on that, he estimated the body length to be about 7-8 feet.
My friend was spooked. He had been sitting on the outside, and as soon as he saw it he paddled in toward us, excitedly told us what he had seen, and then immediately went to the very inside and sat there. Initially I thought it was all very amusing. Then I understood how he felt. Anyway, I was going in at that time so I caught one and that was it.
In retrospect, both my other friend and I concluded that what we had seen earlier and mistook for debris had actually been the shark. We acknowledged that neither of us had seen any branches or wood in the water during the entire session.
