HUMPBACK SHOW
Yesterday afternoon on the way back to Loreto from fishing at Isla Catalana I came across a humpback whale that put on a show for an audience of one.
There were also many finbacks and blues in the area whose spouts lingered for minutes over the calm, glassy water.

Wonderful shots bill!! 1 and 2 look like male tail-slapping behavior, which is usually associated with mating. Did you notice any other individuals
around?? Great stuff, thanks,

Ken..... No, he was the only humpback in the immediate area. Maybe he was trying to attract a mate. In the calm conditions I was a mile or so away
when I first noticed his antics.

Looks like a great day out on the water. I'll bet you got some Yellowtails as well!
Thanks for posting the pictures.

ken....... Yes, as a matter of fact....... There has been a steady bite somewhere between slow and fantastic between Catalana and Santa Cruz for the
past month or so. And the fish, often in the 40 pound range, are big enough to make the long trip worthwhile.

What we see depends mainly on what we look for.

What a show! Thanks so much for sharing it with us. Love those pictures!
Somehow, number 7 might just be my favorite---we have so many that look very similar---different subjects, but same effect.
