Tony, you don't have to go that far away. Basking sharks come up the Alberni inlet fairly often, apparently. (Or at least they used to.) My Brother-in-law and I used to fish the big derby there every Labour Day weekend. We were so close to one I touched it with a paddle. Freakin' big sucker too. Longer than our 18' Double Eagle.
