Who was kiddin ;D
Coolest thing I ever saw in the ocean was when I took the kids to the coast of Maine to camp etc. We were up on a bluff about 150 feet from the water below. We looked out and I saw the water in the little bay and it was beautiful blue color. All of a sudden right in the middle, an area about 50-60 feet in diameter started swirling like a giant toilet bowl and the center was sparkling with some kind of what appeared to be baitfish. I mean the water was was really spinning, all of a sudden a whale comes shooting straight up thru the middle and launches in the air like a Trident missile. Mouth wide open. Landed with a huge splash and disappeared into the swirling water. A minute or two later another one did the same. This went on for about fifteen minutes, one whale after another, don't know what kind they were but it was like watching something from another world.
When they were finished the water just stopped swirling and you could see the pod moving off thru the channel area sounding and spouting as they went.
I felt like a very humble fisherman that day.
