In the beginning of this video, you can see the boat that is in one of the pictures I posted earlier.

Nice, no wonder back in history they thought the sea was full of sea monsters and serpants! Maybe it was?

Cool, gotta love Cape Breton, one of my buddies lives out there. Will make the trip one day.

Excellent vid openfire, wow, I gotta do that one day ! They're such big creatures, makes you wonder what else we have living in the ocean

imagine if people fished for whales, and i dont mean with a harpoon i mean with a line and hook

I definitely recommend it. Over the last 2 summers I've pretty much seen the whole east coast and Cape Breton was one of most beautiful places. As the locals will tell you, you must do the Cabot trail - give yourself at least 2 days... we did it in one day and it wasn't enough time to fully enjoy everything.

bala, that's a funny thought. What would you use for bait? lol

 

[balapickerel]

you'd hook a shrimp and let it get caught in the whales baylein

 

[openfire]

I guess you wouldn't call it "fishing", it would be "mammaling".

Now mind you, the laws of physics would prevent you from ever landing one with a rod and reel.

 

[balapickerel]

yeah, you would need a steel cable and 5000 horsepower engine to reel it in
