Brad Rich just wanted a normal day with his buddies. The group was boating just off of the coast of Seward, Alaska. All of a sudden, Brad noticed something unusual happening in the distance. Gigantic creatures kept going in and out of the water.

As the group sailed closer to the mystery creature, they noticed dozens and dozens of seagulls flying overhead. After living in the area for so many years, they knew that this could only mean one thing. There must be a humpback whale nearby.
