Humpback whales are typically not found in Jupiter, but two Palm Beach County boaters were lucky enough to see one and record it.
On Saturday, Mike Lee and Daniel Hanna were out fishing near the Jupiter Inlet when they witnessed the incredible sight.
“I looked out in the corner of my eye, and I saw a splash that literally looked like a bus hit the water and I said ‘Mike, something just jumped over there,'” stated captain Daniel Hanna. “I don’t know what it was, it was out of the corner of my eye, but it was the biggest smash I’d ever seen in my whole life on a boat.”
The men say they were out on approximately 60-foot-deep water and decided to get near the splash.
“So, we got a little closer and I was like, ‘Wow, it’s a whale. I can’t even believe it,'” stated Hanna.
They couldn’t wait to share the moment with loved ones.
WPTV“I started sending it to all my friends and family and they were all freaking out,” shared Lee.
