that one was between 8 and 9 feet. My photography buddy has spent a lot of time around wildlife in this area. He is very cautious. Judge the length between the eyes and snout. Translate inches to feet and stay at least that far away. When they go under they may turn and flop their tail at you. This one did. It was warm enough that a little splash of water felt good. The wake did rock the boat a little. Here is a pic before we got close.
