    The whale is telling you that your fishing hooks and lines are hurting the sea life

    When the fish are in the water big time, boy, it's wonderful, pulling them up as fast you drop your line. It's happened to my husband and I several times, BUT the dolphins or porpoises and larger fish come running too to eat. I can see a whale not really attacking the people but wanting to eat the fish. They got in the way, the boat, the people. My way of looking at it, it's the whales house, not ours, back off. We have these below the water viewers, and they should or did have them and should have backed off. Really glad they didn't get hurt. Oh, I'm a woman, love to fish, most of my life my husband and I loved our time together on the water, viewing nature, catching fish. God really knows how to put on a show out there! NC, Cape Lookout, Spanish horses eating sea grass, sun going down, the seabirds, all of it, even when you're just sitting there, not fishing, why, weren't biting and just looking at what God gave us. Old boat, new boat, we actually liked our older wooden boat better, I felt safer in it than that fiberglass (light) boat. Beautiful days, then the wind comes up, waves higher than your boat and you get moving, trying not to end up in the water. One good memory, which made me mad at the time, my spouse said, Ok Chunky, think you can swim to shore! Laughed years later about it. Certainly glad they came out alive.
