One day while fishing on Stellwagen in the fog, I saw a wave come over the bow from the port side. As the sea conditions were flat calm I was confused, then a massive white thing appeared on the port side. It then made contact with the hull and pushed the entire bow to about 2 o'clock. Then I saw the top of this thing, which was black and realized I was looking at the tale of a large whale. The boat was a 31 ft. Duffy and had a tonnage of over 20,000.00 lbs. Saw a large whale a little later with a calf along its side. Mamma seemed to be saying get away from my baby. Very gentle push no damage or marks won't ever forget that day!
