That's pretty awesome.

One of those those grey schoolbuses popped up from nowhere about 15-20 feet off my bow once... I almost jumped out of my waders.

When I read this post I had to laugh because the same thing happened to me on 12/31/13. I posted the story on BWE and a video on U tube titled "grey whale off La Jolla 12/31/13". The whale swam right at me from over 100 yards away and came 15 yard in front and then came up 20 feet to my left, but not before taking my mackerel and line, after engaging the reel it started to take me for a ride. I quickly reached for my knife and cut the braid. A still picture taken from my 1080p video of the whale going back down shows my line comming over the top of it's fluke just before cutting the braid. La Jolla is full of such great experiences. If you want to see some of those pictures check out my album on BWE. Great story Oxbeast1210.

They certainly aren't scared of us. It hardly even made any kind of wake. I wasn't scared it would roll me but I was holding my cell in one hand and my non-water proof nikon in the other so I was afraid if it bunped me I migh drop one or both. I made some noise by kicking the deck a little so it would know I was there and it did veer some to my left, otherwise I think it might have come up like less the 10 feet from me and that seemed a little too close for confort.
