They say the downfall of every great fishing story is a witness.
But a group fishing off Greater Victoria B´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·“ near Race Rocks B´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·“ managed to get a Jan. 17 orca encounter on video.
The group thought the boat was being approached by a pod of porpoises but quickly realised it was a young orca B´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·“ belly up.
With the boat already off, the men worked to pull fishing gear out of the water as a trio of young orcas playfully inspected the boat while the rest of their pod watched from a distance.
It wasnB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™t a great day for fishing but itB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™s sure to be one that wonB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™t be forgotten.
