Whereabouts in Alaska? Were you fishing, or whale-watching?

Always very cool to see but almost daily observation when trolling for tuna in the Provincetown to Stellwagon Bank area during the spring through fall! Had 15-20 humpbacks cooperatively feeding within a few 100's yds from shore couple weeks back.

Go on a whale watch or come out tuna fishing!

That's awesome. It always amazes me when the pilots go past the race. They get pretty close to the kayak guys out there.

I recorded this close call several years ago. Guy on boat makes a funny statement!!!

There were a couple 50 yards away from us in Chatham the other day in 60 feet of water. They stuck around for quite a while.

Watching out of Juno...the fjords are often over 300' but dead still on top. Beautiful place.
