Too Big for Me!

A mother and her calf humpback whale off my stern... getting too close for fishing... way too big... I sure wouldn't want to snag one of them... or have them get tangled-up in my down riggers!

I'm outta here! Because they have been showing off all afternoon... breaching in unison... and I think they are getting too inqusitive of me.

I thought I was in real trouble once, when all of a sudden I ended up between the mother and her calf... I put on my lifejacket and prepared for the worst... I even put my finger on the Red Emergency GPS/VHF Radio button... ready to push it if they crashed into me! When they sounded, I didn't know where they were coming up... I sure got my gear up in a hurry and got out of there!
