They say the downfall of every great fishing story is a witness.
But a group fishing off Greater Victoria 鈥� near Race Rocks 鈥� 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 鈥� 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 wasn鈥檛 a great day for fishing but it鈥檚 sure to be one that won鈥檛 be forgotten.
