Preface: On November 30, 2022, 6:15-7:05 pm, in LINC-405 Zoom class Skills Workshop plus Q&A Session with Kim Randall, she showed how to format elongated documents (14"x17") in Google Drawings. Gene Tognetti joined the Q&A Session (6:30-7:05 pm). Kim then imported some of her underwater shark photography she did in the Maldive Islands with a friend. Unfortunately, her beautiful nature photography are invisible at her web sites. I managed to retrieve a polka-dotted whale shark photo on her Facebook site. On Sunday, July 18, 2021, Mercury News printed a picturesque article "Big Fish" by Kurt Snibee. Bookmarked these large fish according to their weight in my Numbers collection. I've rounded up seven Shark photos in Google Slides for Assignment #6.

1. Thresher Shark weighing 575 pounds
is the third largest catch off California
coast on May 26, 2007 at Carlsbad.

50% of shark's total length. See "Big Fish"
