While cleaning up after a successful fishing trip near Biorka Island, southwest of Sitka, on July 20, Vern Culp and Brian Neal felt their 22-foot boat being lifted from underneath.
Neal thought they had hit some rocks until he looked over the side and saw a giant eye, belonging to a humpback whale, looking back.
Nobody was hurt, and Neal said some small marks on the boat were the only signs left from the encounter…
