Another weekend another adventure! While trolling a weed line in 800 fathoms of the Spencer I came across a pilot whale that looked to be in distress so thinking it was tangled in a long line I went in with knife and video camera to "save the whale" The whale was swimming in tight circles and when i got near it I looked down into the abyss looking for lines or nets , not paying attention, the pilot whale came around and head butted me, I pushed it aside and continued looking for wounds but never could figure out what was wrong with it...here is the video clip
BTW Jimmy did you see the next video, Don't swim with pilot whales?
Like I said Bruce, they are playing. Must have originally thought she was a squeeze toy. Whether coincidental or intuitive, they did say the whale appeared to realize she was struggling and raced to the surface, and released her.

Harv, This one wasnt playing it went around and around in a 10 foot circle for hours. Frank it,s a Sony HD video camera , I don't know the model number off hand but you can store data on the hard drive or memory chip and the prices came way down ...I think I paid around $700.00 for it and I had the Sony housing already, unfortunately my son had my wide angle attachment. Bruce...I had a knife :P
