Humpback Whale Breached and Landed on Our Boat || ViralHog

Occurred on July 24, 2022 / Cape Cod, Massachusetts, USA

Info from Licensor: While fishing for Striped Bass in Cape Cod Bay (with 100 fisherman on boats) enjoying an awesome time fishing we saw and heard the screams of excitement from boaters nearby seeing a whale or whales surfacing in the area, all where hundreds of yards away from us all morning. After landing the last fish at 9:38 am, our friend suggested we have something to eat and lucky we did. The men fishing from the bow came down and we were just idling along, making sandwiches and it happened. Prior to this, the last whale we saw was over 300 yds away a few minutes earlier. I had a sandwich in my left hand and my iPhone recording (9:53 am) in the other since we knew the whales were around but nobody expected what happened next...

We're all are lucky, very lucky, no injuries, minor damage to the boat and we powered back to the marina on our own. We all felt bad for the whale, wrong place at the wrong time for all of us. We all got bumped around but went on to live another day. Amazing that an animal that large was in such shallow water (30') so close to shore breech feeding on Menhaden. We never saw it coming, my comment in the video was me referring to a school of Menhaden way out in front of us, not the school trying to hide under our boat.

Cool to see this from both angles lol saw the angle from the other boat yesterday. And now that we can see all those fish trying to escape the whale that we couldn’t see from the other camera angle, we know that was not an attack on the boat but an attempt to catch those fish

They hate the barnacles they itch and burn. A lot of times you see them with what appears to be a beard full of them those actually HURT bad and itch like Insanely the whales are smart they use the boat to scrap them off. I’ve seen this behavior a lot. It needs more funding though so we can get the info out to the ppl. The whales need help. We’ve messed up the oceans balance. They are just trying to get relief not hurt ppl.

There's no way that whale didn't receive some type of injury from that. Bent metal makes for some nasty blades.

I saw this from another angle. Someone else filmed it.
It was on tiktok.

I hope the driver and whale are both ok.

What the hell are those whales doing in the water? Boaters Lives Matter.

It wanted your sandwich. 😉😊😁
I'm glad everyone is alright and I hope the whale and fish are alright too. 💙🌊🚤🐳🐟

It was really "on" that bait-ball! Hope it was worth it! 😳✌️

[valerief]

Wow, hope everyone was ok, including the whale. That must have been terrifying!

This is what happens when marine life has to compete with humans for their food source. Feeding on a bait ball

[wilburnjohnson]

The sea creatures are tired of us invading their space.

[stridergaming]

I guess they were fishing and for that they have put so much bait in water... Which attracted small fishes... And then small fish attracted the big one...

[MrKingkev]

Everybody was having a whale of a time 👏

[kabulkajate]

Why your boat stop in whale area, all of you can hurt him

[boomtube]

How does this happen so often? Do the whales just not see their silhouettes overhead?

[ParkerOsmon]

Humans.. This is why we can't have nice things.
