Humpback Whale splashing on the surface 1/2 mile off the beach east of Shinnecock Inlet along Long Islands South Shore.

Came across this whale on the way back to Bay Shore from a fishing trip to Montauk.

I spoke with a reporter from a Long Island newspaper on this and was informed this is usual behavior for the humpback whales as they scrape the barnacles and other growth from their chins.

I guess this whale was kind of shaving when we saw him :-)
