You just won the award for closest whale encounter without shitting your pants!!! Nice!

You didn't shit your pants correct?

Rav3n805 · 01-19-2015, 08:38 PM

No brown waders, haha I was pretty shaken up!

Mike scales · 01-19-2015, 08:38 PM

That definitely would've had me near shit my pants. Or at least prairie dogging.
Great vid!

Holy sh$%!!!! is right.

La Jolla is is a whale highway.

That was awesome because it looked like he intensionally turned back toward you. They seem so gentle with how little wake they leave. That was even closer than my encounter. I bet that had to be, provably your best experience out on the kayak. Other than catching trophy fish.

THAT WAS AWESOME!

DAMN! I had one about 30-50 yards away from me on Sunday, and I definitely think I had to check my shorts! That's way too close for comfort. Thanks for sharing, nice video!
