11/8 LJ Nice finish to a slow morning
Another prettyful morning with gobs of sun and hardly a breeze. I decided to try iron and plastic and headed straight SW. Not many fishing, saw a couple yaks later in the morning, few PBs and 2 sporties wandering around, they both finished around SW Ended up with a boney, sandie, whitefish and a mackeral bigger than them all. As I paddled in, around 100 yards out in front of the launch. I am looking down at the bottom and catch something out of the corner of my eye, directly in front of me on a collision course. I grabbed my camera as this lil grey whale passed right under me in 20 feet of water. Very cool way to end the morning. wish I had a polerizing lens as this does not do the image I saw any justice.

always cool to see the whales come through, unless they blow out right next to you without warning. A few of the yt at the nados lately have been almost the size of that whale :shock:.

I got about fifty-feet out and then suddenly the great beast
appeared before me. I tell ya he was ten stories high if he was a foot. As if sensing my presence he gave out a big bellow. I said, "Easy big fella!" And then as I watched him struggling I realized something was obstructing his breathing. From where I was standing I could see directly into the eye of the great fish!

Then from out of nowhere a huge title wave lifted, tossed like a
quark and I found myself on top of him face to face with the blow-hole. I could barely see from all of the waves crashing down on top of me but I knew something was there so I reached my hand and pulled out the obstruction! |

It really reminds me of the scene in "Castaway" when the whale surfaces
next to Tom Hanks' raft towards the end of the movie.... |
