This is the text I found to go along with Willard's photo post!
Imagine cruising along in a fishing boat and turning to gaze off the stern and spotting not a sunning marlin, leaping tuna or ray--which anglers might
not be too surprised to see--but a large killer whale riding in the boat's wake only a few feet away.
This was Brian MacGowan's experience recently in the Sea of Cortez, in Baja California's East Cape region.
MacGowan on Saturday was fishing farther south off Cabo San Lucas and showed the photo to Pisces Sportfishing general manager Tracy Ehrenberg.
She posted the photo to the Pisces Facebook page in late afternoon, and by about 7:30 p.m. it had been viewed by 30,000 people and shared more than
300 times.
Ehrenberg's post reads:
Look very carefully at this photo, sent to us by Brian MacGowan from Newport Beach, California, who is out today on the Tracy Ann. He was fishing at
the East Cape recently, when the captain yelled for him to look back... he did, glad the lures were not in the water, he could have had the fight of a
life time on his hands.

Some of my Mexican boat captain friends will tell you this has happened before. The Orca were after the prop. On one occasion the animal bit the prop.
Makes sense since we are all trolling in displays astern hoping the prop sound simulates a feeding, a baitball, something fish can eat.
