Out on the American Princess with Gotham Whale looking for Humpbacks. Spoke with Captain Tom before we set out to look for Whales. I told him I was out on my boat (SHIP OF FOOLS) a few times in the past week and saw whales every day in a certain area. He says I am going there but if we don't see whales he says, "I will be upset" and gives me a look - you know that look. We go on our way, an hour goes by, I look at Capt., shrugged my shoulders, and then almost got that look. Capt. turns, grabs the microphone and declared - We have a Whale folks, get your cameras ready. Fhewwww that was close! and we were on a whale! It was Jerry (the Whale) out off Rockaway Killing masses of Bunker with every lunge! The bait balls were so vast and thick that when you drove through them it sounded like rain. Threshers were going at them, you can see them swimming through a bait balls not by seeing the shark but by the fish that were jumping out of the shark’s way, the bunker was showing us the Threshers swimming patterns. Cool stuff!
