Humpback Whale Eating off Fire Island

Lots of action Labor Day Weekend 2024! This is the first time I've witnessed a humpback whale (headed North) feasting on school after school of Bunker. All of the action was only 500-750 feet from shore, and the humpback was traveling alone.

Amazing! Get an underwater drone next.

Wow! I had to manually set UA-cam to 4k. I thought it would be automatic. Is that your second drone in one of the shots?

[@GalyaMorrell]

Awesome! 👏👏👏

Hi - amazing video. I was actually out on a paddleboard in front of POW close to the whale. There was a drone flying above me that i waived to at one point. Any chance you have footage of me? I have a white and blue paddleboard.
