Hello Mr Orca....

Big bait big fish.
D.D.
 
I think it might be a Dall's porpoise instead of an orca - but still impressive!
 
Nice, real close, and I agree, dalls porpoise, not orca.

Probably saying thanks for lunch.

not a dalls at all. that is a killer whale. I have seen enough of them up close at my own boat.

dalls
 
OK - I guess I was wrong. It just struck me as not big enough relative to the fish. But I claim no expertise!
 
Sure seems small for an orca, but the dorsal is not as triangular as a dalls and the white patches look more orca. If it is an orca, it must be a young one, and that would lead to expect that there are adult orca in the vicinity.

Still would have been cool to be there.

This one is definitely orca. It was on the news recently.

What was interesting was both the suddenness and surprise of it all. You didn't' see the whale until it was already there.
