If the fin was swaying heavy back and forth it was a basking shark. If the sharks mouth was open very wide it was a basking shark. And if the shark was really 24 ft. long it would be by most accounts too large for a white shark. The straight fin, narrow head and color however remind me of a white shark.

Were did you spot the shark?
