Hello Everyone. Just wanted to give all divers and kayakers a heads up. The other evening I was fishing off of the rocks just south of Fort Bragg. I saw a couple dorsal fins about 45 yards out. I had my camera with me so i took some shots. I cant say what type of  shark it was, but I know the Whites come around. Please comment if you might think differently. Be careful out there fellas.

Tried to zoom in for a closer look but I can't identify it.  Thanks for sharing the info.

Doesn't look like GW to me. Not triangular enough. Killer fin shots either way!

Mola mola looks like a good call. There's a second fin in that second pic isn't there. Does that fit with the mola mola?

In the third pic, could be the tail fin prodruding as the fish is quartering away?
