Actually, male killer whales have the larger dorsal fins and "Captain Hook", T40, is the big male that you saw with the bent tip traveling with a couple females. Females have the smaller curved dorsal fins. Nice footage of this guy, he really is very popular just like Ruffles, J1, of the Southern Resident Orcas. =)

Thanks for the post. I'm visiting the San Juans next week and have been looking for a good resource to track the pods, any suggestions?
