A fisherman on Long Island had a close call with a humpback whale - with dramatic video showing the colossal mammal launching out of the water and smashing into the boat. The whale - which typically weighs between 50,000 and 80,000 pounds - is seen in the wild clip causing the surrounding fish to flee before it leaps from the ocean and busts the boat’s hatch open as it collides with the vessel.
“I thought we might be going down, but the boat was OK, the whale was OK. It was just crazy,” the startled fisherman, Steven Heid, said. Heid said he was out fishing with his father-in-law and nephew off Moriches Inlet on the East End adjacent to Fire Island when they spotted the whale a few hundred yards away. The mammal then began moving toward their boat, at which point he shut off the engine to avoid hurting the beast with the propeller.
Yeah - save the whales - where have I heard that before?
