Big Shark!  saw this basking shark N of Three Fathom ledge.

This shark turned around and passed under the transom, we got a good look at the wide front end it looked to me like a big catfish

this fish was 20' longish

I saw another near the same area a couple days later, 

Razorbill and chick,

It appears that this loon may have pierced this flounder, I am not sure that was the case
