[cool]Welcome to our forum, myu. We hope we can provide enough useful information to keep your interest.
You present a logical identification of the creature in the waves. As I stated, the original post of the picture was titled "surf shark", with a note that it was supposed to be a great white. The image is hazy and leaves the potential for misidentification. Here are some images of both, and we well leave it up to the members to decide which they think it might be. First, a white shark:

Then, the bottlenose dolphin:

You seem to be quite the adventurer and lover of water sports. We would be interested in reading of some of the species you catch and the methods you use. We would also like to know what type of equipment you use, and why you prefer it.
Although most float tube fishermen in the U.S.A. are fresh water anglers, there are an increasing number that take their tackle into salt water. Usually they have to become comfortable with their equipment and their own skills before they are brave enough to go where sharks live.
Thank you for registering and posting your comments. It is always good to have knowledgeable members to contribute to our discussions.
