Nice pics. I was fortunate enough to see a whale shark while fishing 90 miles southeast out of Galveston back in 07. Amazing creatures and mind boggling at first sight.

We have them at Ursa during warm months. I never see them when it is cold or rough.
When we had an ROV running all the time, we saw a lot of **** out here...

hey ray yall ever seen any WHite Sharks wit those ROV's..?

[Ray]

No Great White's.
We have seen some wild looking crabs at the wellheads. 3850 ft. deep.
We have also seen some big fat sharks down deep also.
Everything else is between 1000 ft. and the surface.
Between 1000 ft. and the bottom was nothing there except for some jelly fish
and squid.
