In what was a dangerous encounter that could have been far worse, a lunge-feeding whale landed on the bow of a fishing boat, forcing the stern out of the water and no doubt putting a scare into the passengers.
The incident occurred off Plymouth, Massachusetts, around 10 a.m. Sunday in the White Horse Beach area where humpback whales have been spotted feeding recently, according to WCVB and a press release from Plymouth Harbormaster Chad Hunter.
Video of the encounter was captured by “Leo and Gasser, age 15” from a nearby boat, ViralHog reported.
