Appearance
The whaleshark has a rather flat body, with a blue top and white underside. White spots dot it's back. Small eyes, a big tooth-less mouth, and some fins and a sweeping tail complete the Whaleshark.

Where To Find
The Whaleshark only appears in the Beaver Class: Florida Keys, and not every time, so you may have to retry a few times. If the Whaleshark is there, the objective pop-up will say something about a fisherman fighting an improbably huge fish, and will UNKNOWN over the picture box. All you have to do is start driving forward from the anchor,and you should see a giant fish in the water.

Tips On Catching
Using the yellow outlined bait will draw the Whaleshark to you sooner, but using another bait will let the line drift a little closer to you, which is a good thing. Be prepared to re-cast, because this fish knows how to rampage and break lines! If you can't seem to land it, have another go when you're further into the game, and more experienced. Never give up entirely, for one thing you need it to catch the Seaplug, and for another thing, you can't beat seeing your character lifting a fish who's head AND body go off the screen!
