The rumor's definitely true. I was on the rocks at Newton Ave. on Thanksgiving morning at dawn and a pod of BFT went nuts about 200 yds off the rocks. They were coming completely out of the water and they were BFT. Huge ones at that.
A few minutes later they surfaced for a few seconds closer than the first time. None of us hooked up.
One of the dawn patrollers has a boat. He and his brother hooked up to them three times a couple of days before T-Giving. They got spooled twice and kept the third one on for a long time by chasing it with the boat, before the leader snapped. Of course, they're illegal but exciting as hell to get into.
BTW, on T-giving morning at Newton, a seal swam by about 50 feet off the rocks and eyeballed us, and then a flock of turkeys scared the hell out of us in the pucker brush behind the rocks. They just all of a sudden started gobbling at the same time and it made a hell of a racket.
