Stephen: This is from June last year but has now made the mainstream news outlets…. as the chap on the boat says: ” This is the experience of a lifetime”.
From The Telegraph, UK – February 28, 2014

Two fishermen in Canada filmed their chance encounter with a curious humpback whale, which swam under their boat and even appeared to perfom ‘tricks’ for them.
“Words cannot describe the sheer exhilaration of seeing such a magnificent sight. I could say it was pretty damn cool and that would be a huge under statement.

“Experiences like these make people seem insignificant amongst nature’s grandest animals. My wife laughs but I sensed intelligent interaction with the humpback,” said Mr Egan on his YouTube account.
“Smart whale or not, I kept the boat motor in neutral, since I figured a boat making noise below a 40 ton whale is likely safer that being in a quiet boat!
Eventually, the whale dropped back in the tidal current and the fisherment had enough room to start the motor up and move away.
