Orcas at Eagle Point San Juan Island WA
When this pod of Orcas cruised by my boat I knew it was the end of the day's salmon fishing. The big male's tail slapping (at about the 1:00 mark) was clearly a sign that he wanted me out of their territory. There is a final breach at about the 2:35 mark. I'm aware of the regs regarding keeping distance from Orcas. I shut down my trolling engine and brought in my gear as soon as I noticed them at several hundred yards distance. The pod seemed to be all around me and, quite frankly, I was so fascinated that I turned on my camera instead of motoring away immediately. A small commercial whale watch boat came by to make sure I was aware of the rules.

    All these Orcas need to be killed, and turned into oil. We need to put a stop to Orcas attacking fishing boats.

    They're so beautiful, and that's a beautiful thing to capture. I've seen real footage, orcas in pods, attack great White sharks. They will not let any type of shark, in those islands. Which is why sharks will take off extremely fast, in fear, of our beautiful killer whales..🐋 🙏 😎 ⛵

    Wie ist es überhaupt möglich, dass ein Orca Luftsprünge machen kann ? Wie können so viele Tonnen, die Schwerkraft überwinden ? Ich staune, denn Geschwindigkeit, und/oder Kraftaufwand (Newton)... ist gigantisch WIE ist so was möglich ?

    Hi! I know this video is old, but this family is called the J11s! The big male you saw was J27 Blackberry, and he was probably travelling with his mom, J11 Blossom, his brother J39 Mako, and his sister J31 Tsuchi. These guys are Southern Residents, of which there are currently only 75! You were incredibly lucky to have this encounter with them.

      Can somebody of the experts help me a little please. I am working with horses since 35 years and the communication is with body language. Am I wrong?? This tailslapping TO the boat looks for me like :"get out of here" or "you are disturbing us"??? I have seen so many videos where the orcas react friendly, are coming to the boat. That's a big difference in the body language, am I wrong???

      @@johnshepard6851 Thank you!!! 👍 Of course they are much smarter than f. e horses, that's why it is so much more difficult to understand why (I think). It's hard enough to understand the body language of horses, the dolphin fam must be much harder. Interesting is: when horses are swinging their tails so much it is often a sign of pain, aggression, discomfort and so on, almost the same and horses are pre animals, Orcas apex predictors. Learning to communicate and to understand them is faszinating for me. Best whishes from Austria 🇦🇹 👍

    That was really cool! I have seen it in person and there’s just no words to describe it. And unfortunately, you can keep your required distance from them, but you can’t keep them from coming to you. And when they got as close as they did, you’re not supposed to motor away right away anyway, but rather wait until it’s safe after they have moved past. But I’m sure you already knew that. 😁
