Clark Scott could almost touch the whale, about 20 feet from him. 'I was just fishing minding my own business and I heard him breathe out right behind me,' he said.
Clark followed the fast-moving whale into Nahant Bay using his electric motorized kayak. Despite losing track of the whale, he described the encounter as 'an amazing experience.'
NBC10 Boston photographer Mark Garfinkel captured the breathtaking moment when the whale breached near the fisherman in the kayak.
New England Aquarium scientists confirmed the whale encountered by the fisherman was a humpback, adding a scientific validation to the thrilling experience.
