  • All the men were "blessed not lucky." The sound of the whole hitting the boat must have also been tremendous. Yes, yes, yes WEAR YOUR LIFE JACKETS!!!!!!!
  • Whales ( especially orcas) have been getting there get back. They haven't forgotten what you did to free willy.
  • Well it was just a matter of time before a whale landed on a boat. They do breach out of 🌊 water
  • @zap_sigma1
    Going by that red sox sweater the guy was wearing, I gauge the whale is a Yankees fan. Lol
  • COURAGEOUS BOYS.... It's been documented that Dolphins and other oceanic mammels ... They all like to play games... Maybe he was playing "Tag"...You're It!

    July 23, 2024, Whale complaint? Boat engines are hot. The day before, July 22, 2023: " Monday was the hottest day on Earth since the start of the last Ice Age".

    Can you please tell them the truth? This is NH. The whales are going crazy from the continued Humm of the wind turbines and the floating fiberglass that's in the water from the failed turbine and the oil & fuel slicks from the wind turbines themselves. You really need to start telling the truth. Cover how Shell and Chevron are backing out of the Ocean Wind Turbine and selling these to the next highest bidder because of the Wind turbine failure rate. Also, huge amounts of debris and fiberglass were washed ashore and was also found in the fish. If in FACT the whale was eating the vessel owner did not abide by the MMPA! Its a federal Law folks!
  • I'm sure the whale just was to into fishing and didn't have any malicious intent. I've seen a few videos were they came close to something like this above large fish schools. They come from below with their mouth open and close their mouth as they breach the surface. I hope the whale didn't get badly injured. I'm thankfull we no longer hunt
  • @Kerryday11
    Wow some of these connects smh. I'm glad everyone and the whale are ok. Praise God!!
  • @DieIndruk
    It attacked the boat 😅 Wonder why?
  • Guess next time they will take the hint get the hell out of their fishing area.
  • The whales have proven just how aware and smart they are. So.. it could be they were letting the fisherman know he's taken his good. Like every one else. Or he is hi on cocaine, or he is hurting for some reason. They come to humans when the need help with a fishing net tight around their bodies. Maybe???
