The monster was about 20 feet long and circling a dead whale as it turned toward their tiny center-console outboard, said captain Jeff Lynch of Chilmark.
“To see something that big was crazy. It was as big as my boat. It had to weigh a ton or more,” Lynch told the Herald. “It was following my boat around.”
“The girth of it was impressive,” said boat-mate Will Farrissey. “I’ve never seen anything that big.”
