Having a hard time believing this thing is only 11-13' long.

13 looks to be on the smaller side. What a brute!

I have a hard time believing that's 13 feet unless things on that boat are disproportionately small.

They had a 10-12 footer in the aquarium on Maui for a while, and it had no where near the 'mass' of that thing...

That's a 20 footer ...

I concur.  My thought was 17' on the small side.
