Yes,

I've done considerable offshore sportfishing and sailing in the Gulf of Mexico. We've come across Sperm Whales, Pilot Whales, and Whale Sharks. It's extremely rare, but Killer Whales (Orca) have been spotted between Corpus Christi and Brownsville Texas, twice that I know of over the past 50 years. I don't know of any Humpback sightings here.

That was an amazing shot!

Wow . . whale sharks . . . I thought they were only in the South Pacific.

As one who often has raced in San Francisco Bay and who enjoys taking photographs, this picture is amazing. Thank you for providing it in download. Just amazing!
