When I saw that this brand new humpback whale video on YouTube was slowly starting to take off in terms of views and shares, I had to watch it.

And for the first few seconds I sat there scratching my head saying, “Well, this is pretty boring…”

And then it happened.

Pa-POW!!!!

Perhaps the craziest up close humpback whale breach ever recorded on film. I had to watch it a couple of times.

And check out the seagulls coming in for sloppy seconds on the bait the whales were going after. Awesome!

This footage was taken by Brad Rich while in Alaska this past week.

Well done!

And we apologize in advance for any language, but this was too good not to share (and his last comment is pretty hilarious).
