As I was trolling out to the Soquel Reef last Sunday, I saw something swimming on the surface.  It looked like a sharkfin but not a GWS.  I thought I'd take some video of it, but a nearby boat started to reset their drift.  I got a little of it before the boat scared it away.  The people in the boat had no clue that they ran past something.  I would guess that it was a basking shark that has been reported in the area.  See for yourself:

If I had to guess I'd say it was a mola mola/sunfish. I've seen quite a few in SC and I almost always mistake them for a shark until I get a closer view.
