Whale lands on fishing boat near Massachusetts

A whale hit the front end of a local fishing boat off the coast of Plymouth, Massachusetts, as captured on video by a nearby witness.

The humpback whale landed on the 19-foot boat's bow around 10 a.m. on Sunday, officials said, leaving it bouncing in the water as the whale submerged once again.

There were only minor damages to the boat, and no injuries to those on board, officials said.

A Plymouth Harbormaster patrol boat was already in the area due to increased whale sightings in recent days, officials said.

can't blame the whale. look at all those people whale spotting and crowding them in their feeding zone. People need to think things through more in such a situation and keep a safe distance.

People gotta start paying a heavy fine for getting too close to whales. Did you see how many jackasses were crowded around it?

[ralphlee]

People trying to take everything from the mammals and animals and are always in the road

What about possible injuries to the whale ?

Nature fighting back! I hope more animals turn violent.

The whale already knows there's pollution in the oceans it's just acting on instinct because some maybe hitting them with high powered engines someone nick the whale so it's nicking you back

If a whale doesn’t plop on your boat your not whale watching right lol

[GloryDaze]

The whale holds a lot more knowledge and understanding than we. They were blessed, he/she could have killed them easily. And it wouldn’t be taken so lightly

Whale was like "f your couch!"

The idiots in the boats should not have been there. Doesn't the local government, state government, federal government have any laws re how close you can get to marine life, especially whales?
I hope the whale wasn't injured.

[crazypolite]

I mean it's boumd to happen.. the fact it doesn't happen more frequently on those whale watching tours is the real astounding thing

[grimmjow]

Whale I bet they didn't see that coming

[ThyBookie]

You thought stepping on a Lego was bad

[zairagutierrez]

Lets be honest if the whale wanted to hurt the people inside the boat it wouldn't have stopped moving the boat or attacking it. The whale was probably mad that there was so many boats there. Whales have been really gentle with most humans if they attack you my first thought would be, "what did you do to the whale?"

A whale almost killed me while I was fishing.
Whale: touche

Imagine telling your insurance a whale jumped onto your boat 🤣🤣🤣😂🤦🏽‍♂️

The whales are fed up with sharing their food supply and the noise. That whale sent a stern message. It could have destroyed that boat if it so chose to do so.

Glad to know the people aboard the vessel have not been hurt, Hope the whale did not suffer any injury’s
