Naples, Fla. — A Charter fishing boat captain got what he calls the wildlife experience of his life when he spotted a this giant whale shark Saturday.
Captain Robert Holzinger was anchored about 30 miles off Naples when the whale shark swam up to his boat.
He said the shark was very friendly and was even able to pet it!
Lucky enough for us, he also caught the whole thing on video.
