Boater Captures Video of Possible Humpback Whale Surfacing on Chesapeake
BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- Passengers of a charter fishing boat in the Chesapeake Bay, off Solomons Island, caught a glimpse of what they believe was a humpback whale on Friday.
One man took video of the whale surfacing several times, and estimates it was about 35 to 40 feet long.
CAUTION: Adult language is used in this video.
Solomons Island, MD, Friday, April 22, 2016 @ 2:30p.m. >> My brother, David Lehan, caught this 35-40 foot Humpback whale breaching, twice in this video, in about 80 feet of water, roughly 4.5 miles from Solomons. Yes, that Solomons! Dave, a former Charter Boat captain himself, was working with Capt. Brian Elder and Capt. Richie Roberts aboard the Marcy Lynn, operating from Bunky's Marina on Solomons Island. (Roberts is the boat's owner)- CAUTION: ADULT LANGUAGE IN THE VIDEO (as you can imagine, the guys were quite surprised and excited) http://www.marcylynncharterfishing.com/
