I know it's not a man-eater, but that's still a big shark.

Looks like a Whale Shark,a harmless beast, much like the Basking shark,no glory in landing thAt poor critter

Only eats plankton that one, I think. Really whale like, but a fish and a shark at that... nature.... go figure it.

Isn't that the shark featured in, "Jaws XIII: Scourge of the Plankton"?

Cheers!

I hate to see that awesome creature dead. Supposedly you can meet them when snorkeling if you are very lucky.

If one reads the report, it wasn't killed or caught alive but was already dead or close to it.

Right, they claim it was adrift at sea near death when first spotted, and then seen again dead and reeled in.
They got $18k for it, so it was a boon for them.
