I read about that yesterday. It's amazing that there wasn't more damage done to the boat.

How did the whale fare? All I could find on it was a video and nothing was said about if the whale got injured badly. Believe it or not I care more about the whale than the boat. 
If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.

Around 7 years ago, someone who owned a bbq restaurant in my home town went on a deep sea fishing trip and a whale smashed his boat and killed him instantly. Freak accident, but I guess it happens more often than I thought.

That's like the lady who was riding in the bow of a moving boat and got hit in the head in FL by a sting ray jumping out of the water and was killed. Freaky!

I was at a meeting with the DNR of my state and it was brought up that a jet skier had been killed by an Asian carp that jumped up as he was speeding along. My comment was, "Well at least there will be one positive outcome reported in this meeting." It got a few grins. I know I should be ashamed of myself for saying that, but I've had such terrible experiences with those **** things, and the inconsiderate people that ride them while I was fishing, I absolutely hate them!  If I was insane I'd mount a Gatling Gun on the front of my boat and go after them!  Torpedoes would be fun too!

I fish from shore, so jet skiers don't bother me too much. For some reason, electric / gas powered model speedboats are kind of popular where I live right now.
Three times in the last month I have been fishing and someone had decided to drive their boat going 35-40mph and do figure 8 type formations in front of me. At that point I stopped fishing for fish, and was honestly trying to snag me a boat.

So tpyical. I rarely fish the public lakes anymore for that reason. Just got tired of dealing with inconsiderate idiots. Any easy solution on our lakes would have been a 10 mph speed limit in evenings AND mornings to give a fishing guy a change but the powers to be didn't want to hear of it. Too many boat manufacturers in my state I guess.

When I was in the Navy we had whales that would swim along with the ships. Now and then they would bump into the ship. It actually seemed quite deliberate. Once, one of them smashed and broke our sonar dome.

I AM NOT FOND OF INCONSIDERATE JET SKIERS AND LARGE BOAT OWNERS WHO 'OWN' THE WATER. THAT'S WHY I HAVE A POND. I ALSO DONT LIKE WHOEVER BROUGHT IN AND PLANTED ASIAN CARP, SNAKEHEADS,HYDRILLA, ELODEA. ET AL. WITHOUT JAPANESE FISHERMEN SLAUGHTERING WHALES, WE COULD NOT HAVE SUCH AN EDUCATIONAL DOCUMENTARY SUCH AS 'WHALE WARS'.

Not that uncommon, seems cruise ships, with whale lovers/watchers makes most hits. http://www.cruisebruise.com/Celebrity_summit_dead_whale_on_bow_august_19_2006.html

The jet skier was repeatedly asked to move away from his fishing area. When he mouthed off and refused to leave the musky angler lost his temper.

After all the education about cleaning weeds off of boat trailers when leaving a lake I saw a weed coated boat trailer on the highway the other day. Looked like Eurasian Milfoil too.

We don't use 18 month old kids for pilots. Sheesh. That's our chief mechanic. Pilots must be at least 5 years old.
