JERSEY SHORE, N.J. (CNN Newsource/WKRC) - A father and son encountered a humpback whale while fishing in New Jersey.
Zach Piller and his father were fishing for bass and tuna when the hungry humpback rose and crashed in the water feet away from their boat.
The whale grazed their boat and caused it to rock back and forth, but there were no injuries.
Experts say that in recent years, juvenile humpback whales have been regularly spotted along the Jersey Shore.
