Orca Encounter Stuns Boys Fishing on Washington Pier

Two boys pier fishing in the Seattle suburb of Lofall, Washington, witnessed an awesome sight when an orca suddenly surfaced mere feet away.

Footage recorded by Jake Skelley shows the moment the orca’s dorsal fin can first be seen.

Skelley and his friend Ben Mathews had been fishing when the orca suddenly surfaced, dad Nathan Skelley said.

The boys can be heard gasping in shock in the footage, as the orca repeatedly dives and resurfaces, heading back out to sea.

“There is no way!” one of the boys exclaims excitedly. Credit: Jake Skelley via Storyful
