The whale 🐳 is saying get the hell out of my house!

[@Capricorn-1980]

Oh, those kids helped!? That’s good to know. I thought that kid was like “Oh h3ll no! We are outta here!” 😂😂

[@mm.f262]

Can someone please interview the Whale? I want to hear it's perspective

[@jackimccall4483]

😅

[@oneshothunter9877]

"well, I was eating breakfast and these guys took my food"

[@mm.f262]

Well I was eating breakfast as I normally do every day in my regular spot for the last 10 years and the this guy came out of nowhere! Right in the middle of mid crunch. No warning nuthin! ( Boston accent)🤣

[@Ella7194]

This was a "F_ck around and find out" situation. They were too close as are the other boats around the whale.
Give the mammals space. Don't crowd them.

[@moshkhal2637]

The whale has the right to defend herself

[@oceanwoods]

I hope the whale is ok

[@dantespeak138]

"Jaws ain't got nuthin on me".

[@Cchouette]

Areas where whales breed are protected. The presence of these fishermen was not desired by this whale and Nature did the rest: Well done!

[@hellygeer]

Colin & Wyatt are heroes. And good fishermen too. They're parents must be very proud.

[@MayOdinGuideYou]

Whale: Enough is enough killing us water creatures for seafood!!

[@123mightywarrior]

I guess you can say they needed a bigger boat....

[@Quipson]

These news channels don't care the fishing boat was flipped back over, towed to shore and still seaworthy.

[@fatimamelicio7980]

THANK LORD THEY ARE SAFE 🙏🏻😇

[@adamahmad1262]

thank God, he's safe.

[@yellowdeer7163]

I hope the whale is okay!

[@MrsHotrod37]

Can you please tell them the truth? This is NH. The whales are going crazy from the continued Humm of the wind turbines and the floating fiberglass that's in the water from the failed turbine and the oil & fuel slicks from the wind turbines themselves. You really need to start telling the truth. Cover how Shell and Chevron are backing out of the Ocean Wind Turbine and selling these to the next highest bidder because of the Wind turbine failure rate. Also, huge amounts of debris and fiberglass were washed ashore and was also found in the fish.

[@LH-ot5rk]

So true about the hum of wind turbines negatively impacting animals.

[@HeatherBDentureDiVa]

Holy crap! This actually is common. But between sharks and all that im glad other boaters were around

[@bribengal1968]

But we can't get any good alien encounter videos.

[@danmcfaull3919]

Going to be a very interesting insurance claim 😂

[@lynnlee2282]

Wear those life jackets guys

[@christinerhyne8093]

Another news station focused on the guy wearing a stupid hoodie! Just because the hoodie had DAYTON on the front. WTF??😮

[@grumpyoldlady_rants]

And no one is wearing their life vests…

[@KurilianCanine-rx2tf]

My opinion is if the whale was aggressive he would have continued to attack the boat . My opinion either a toy or the boat was right under the whale and the whale surfaced tipping the boat over

[@captainobvious9233]

Did they get insurance info from the Whale?

[@siriphone]

When size does matter!

[@bri2233]

The earth is a wild place, not just a playground for humans.

[@SEA-dx1sv]

Waters are unsafe

[@demetrioalamilla9615]

Stop fishing the Whales food

[@KurilianCanine-rx2tf]

The whale thinks the boat is a toy.

[@craigbennett4582]

Fair play... Get in the way....Just how it is.

[@christiebetts-fi7qj]

Awesome responsive from the teenagers

[@DoseofDoriJ]

Holy WHALE…Moby Dick was MAD… their motor might have clipped his/her fin!????😳😱😱🐳 😱😱

[@mytrashguypa]

We're gonna need a bigger boat

[@thomaslewis6361]

Hands off from animals!!! Stay out from them!!!

[@Ray-fe3fh]

Love yall so much. Wahhh.

[@keelhe893]

The whales are large and swim fast when they are eating. It’s not so easy to maintain 100ft when they are moving around you and you must shut off your engine when they are close. The boaters may have been compliant but whales are alive and move 🙄

[@FallfromGrace-ig1pw]

he was just playing :)

[@Cha-y412]

Whale feeding, Boys fishing -- Whale wins 100% of the time

[@mistervacation23]

Save the whale, save the whale. PETA will blame it on the boater.

[@SEA-dx1sv]

😮😮😮😮😮😮😮

[@Ray-fe3fh]

Ok I look like them too. Ok fine. W'ell break you eventually they say. W'ell it's die or keep living and staying true to who I am. Yo they hate big time. Oh they heard this the whollleee time. What does that have to do with me? Like actually. Vengenance, against the nice guy? Leave me alone please. Y'all all hunt yeah? I'm the weakest one... bruh

[@notyourbarn]

Take Biden with you next time
