About Piscatorial
A piscatorially minded person would most definitely be interested in catching a glimpse of a whale shark, the largest living fish on the planet. These beasts weigh nearly 21 tons on average and can grow as long as 40 feet. Head to the Indian or Pacific oceans for the best chance of seeing these endangered creatures.
