Blue Whale Video Shot with GoPro - Dana Wharf Whale Watching - Dana Point, CA
Some beautiful footage of a Blue Whale passing by Dana Wharf's 63' catamaran, the Ocean Adventures! This video was taken with a GoPro. Whaling in the 1900's caused a severe decline in the blue whale population along the Pacific coast of the United States. Once hunting was banned, the blue whale population has slowly started to recover. Before whaling was commercialized, blue whale numbers along the Pacific were estimated to be around 200,000. Today, the blue whale population around the world is estimated to be around 12,000. Approximately 2,000 blue whales call the Pacific coast their home. The blue whale is listed as endangered by the IUCN Red List. These majestic creatures are the largest mammal on earth and can grow to over 100 feet long. All of our cruises are narrated by our seasoned captains who will educate you on the abundant ocean life on our coast. Trips are all 2 hours long, plenty of time to discover the world that lies beneath! The Blue Whale season runs May - October! Last year we had 752 Blue Whale sightings!!! We have trips that depart daily all year long! Visit us online or call us at 949.496.5794!

Humongous rare whale shark seen off Southern California
Go to PFOradio.com for more photos and the rest of this incredible story.
Just when we thought we had seen it all, a whale shark shows up in Southern California. Captain Ryan Gengler of the Triton from Long Beach Sportfishing could not believe his eyes when the mammoth creature appeared. We were about 7 miles east of the east end of Catalina Island when I saw it, said Gengler. I could not believe my eyes.
The whale shark seemed very curious swimming around the fishing vessel and bumping into it several times. He was curious, almost playful, said Gengler. When he bumped into us, you could feel the boat shake.
Ryan and Brad Schlerf were on board hoping to catch some yellowfin tuna in one of the most prolific tuna seasons in decades in Southern California. Instead, they saw something that few people have ever witnessed; a whale shark in Southern California. It was huge; I couldn't believe what we were seeing, said Ryan Schlerf. It was as if we had been transported to another world, said his brother Brad. I will never, ever forget this day.
It’s pretty rare, especially for this far north, said Dr. Chris Lowe from the Shark Lab at Cal State University at Long Beach. It’s certainly been an epic summer for subtropical visitors.
Whale sharks are the largest fish in the sea reaching lengths up to 40 feet and prefer warm, tropical seas. Their favorite meal is plankton which they scoop up with their mammoth mouths while swimming near the surface of the ocean. Whale sharks are docile creatures, gentle giants and will in some cases allow swimmers to hitch a ride. They are rarely seen in Southern California.
Sunday, September 14, 2004 was another chapter in this incredible year as abnormally warm water has brought with it a host of unusual creatures. A wahoo has been caught here, an estimated 400 pound blue marlin was lost at leader yesterday, hammerhead sharks have been seen, green sea turtles, puffer fish and more. But, perhaps the best of this was the show that a whale shark put on for the lucky fishermen on board the Triton yesterday. I will take this one to my grave, said Captain Gengler.

What a fishing tale these anglers will remember for a lifetime charter master Ron Smith told the OC Register. The Mako Shark was believed to be at least 400lb's.

Incredible moment a young gray whale sneaks up on a group of unsuspecting surfers in California
Order Turmeric Curcumin Plus: Incredible moment a young gray whale sneaks up on a group of unsuspecting surfers in California. A group of surfers got the surprise when a young gray whale sneaked up on them near a California beach shore.
The moment was captured on November 11 by Payton Landaas, an 18-year-old from Dana Point, who started taking videos with his drone for his website Stealth Photos.
He told The Orange County Register that he was watching the waves from a bluff near his home in Capo Beach when he saw a 'poof' in the water that turned out to be a whale spout.
'I ran and got my drone and flew it out there. Then it ventured out to Doheny…it was just cruising. I lost it a couple times, it dove down pretty deep,' Landaas said.
In the video, the swimming whale made its way through Doheny State Beach where around two dozen surfers wait for waves near a rocky jetty called Boneyards.
Unbeknownst to the surfers, the curious whale was approaching them from behind as it stealthily swam along with beach's shoreline.
Suddenly, the friendly whale peeped its head out to quickly spout from its blowhole before diving back under.
The group of surfers don't appear to notice the massive mammal coming towards them until it's right under their feet.
One surfer got spooked by the easy moving whale and quickly paddled away.
Landaas, who was filming from a distance, wasn't able to warn the surfers of the oncoming whale.
He said: 'I thought it was pretty crazy.'
The whale makes it through the crowd without any incidents and continues on its journey.
Capt. Corey Hall of the Dana Wharf Sportfishing & Whale Watching told KTLA that gray whales are gentle wouldn't likely cause a fuss.
He said: 'Gray whales are pretty docile, known as the friendly whale, so they just kind of do their own thing.
Hall believes the whale is a juvenile, sized around 18-feet-long and looks
