Boat struck by whale? That's what it would have to have been judging by that hole... Not one mention of the whale breaching? And crew member fell overboard, ONTO the whale??? Sounds fishy to me, but that is a big hole.

Funny, in all the years I have been out and seen whales, and sometimes been close enough to have gotten wet when one breached, I have never feared one would strike the boat.....
