]JapanRon,
My Uncle had a 28' Skipjack and he saw one at Catalina about the same size as the boat. There was a Great White just outside of the Long Beach Jetty about a year ago seen chomping on a seal.
When you tube there at Catalina make sure you have a boat with you or someone who can pick you up if the current takes you out. Jerry Chang who floattubes with us at some of the tournaments got sucked out about a mile out when fishing for the Halibuts close to shore. He made a phone call to his dad on his boat to pick him up. His dad couldn't see him but did manage to pick him up. Also, there was a report of a guy who lives on a boat there at Catalina who took his raft back to his boat at night and the current took him towards Mexico and he was out on the sea for a couple of days. Make sure you have a phone maybe even a flare[

PS- Ask Paul Grunion (just retired DFG Marine Biologist) he should have an answer for you.
