kayaking with Killer Whales

We were three days into a kayak camping trip, fishing from our kayak when along came a pod of Orca. Note Ron, the casual fisherman, not even turning his head as two whales surface just behind him.
Living in BC, I've been lucky enough to get this close to Orca, Humpbacks, and Gray Whales several times in my kayak, over two decades of paddling. But it never ceases to be thrilling. And this was the first time I had a camera with video capability handy.

I love to kayak fish and I want to do this so bad!!! The only thing I worry about is if you hooked a fish and the orcas came after it would they accidentally capsize you if you got it close to your yak.

@fasstang87 you really think a killerwhale is gonna hook on to a size 3 hook or whatever it is? lol

[fasstang87]

Do you think you really want a line down when killer whales are in the area? Just imagine the kind of ride you could be in for.
