Fishermen Terrified As Massive Creature Swims Up To Boat. Then Fear Turns To Heartbreak As It Gets Closer

I don’t think any of these fishermen will be bummed out about the “big one that got away”. In fact, it makes for quite an extraordinary story and if I hadn’t seen it on camera I wouldn’t have believed it.

It could have ended up real bad for them, with an enormous monster creeping up on them from below. But apart from its size, there’s nothing monstrous about this gentle giant. You see, this whale had a close encounter with a fishing line that got stuck in its mouth. Unable to remove it in its own, the smart animal decided to ask for help on the surface. Gently, it lifted itself up so close to the boat all this guy had to do was reach out and grab the line out of the whale’s mouth.
