Epic Whale encounter at Albion

Unfortunately, I couldn't make it to Albion until Saturday afternoon and missed all the fun.  But Sunday morning, I was up at at 5:30 gearing up for an epic day of fishing.  But lo and behold... all you drunk bastards were still passed out in your tents!  I waited by the water until about 7:30am and thank goodness, Will the Thrill comes paddling by and so I finally had a fishing buddy.  The water was pretty rough in the early am and we nixed our plans to head down the coast.  I saw something boil right off Will's bow and it tweaked me a little bit.  I was thinking a sea lion was below and possibly going for the stringers but the back of my mind was thinking shark!  We were looking at the bubbles, wondering wtf it was when a humpback spouted about 100 yards away.  He was tooling at a good pace and heading north.  We yelled and called it out on the radio, then that SOB made a 90 degree turn and came right for us!  It breached right next to Will about 15 feet away.  An epic experience and one I wont soon forget!  Here's the video.  The wide angle doesn't really do it justice but you can get a good look at it at the .57 mark.
