One of them said the whale impacted when it breached under them. that makes more sense to me than just running into it.

Last year I saw a few large whales between the Vernons and Bathurst Island. There were maybe four in the pod and quite large (humpbacks?) and moving south through the channel.

I was fishing just off the break wall at Milley Point a few years ago when right up near the break wall a small (3m) whale breached the surface to slap the water. I assume to inhale a big bait ball or force them off the rocks.
