CARRABELLE, Fla. (NBC) - Some Georgia fisherman had a rather big encounter with a rare shark.

During a fishing trip off the coast of Carrabella, Fla., the group came in close contact with a whale shark.

The 25-foot fish apparently didn't mind the fisherman, hanging around the boat for about an hour.

The whale shark is the largest fish species and is currently listed as a vulnerable species.
