A father and son who were fishing off the coast of New Jersey got a big surprise last week. Zach Piller and his dad were fishing for bass and tuna when suddenly a massive whale breached the surface and crashed back into the water right next to them. Watch video of the encounter in the video player above. The whale actually tapped their boat causing it to rock back and forth, but thankfully no one was hurt. Juvenile humpback whales have been spotted more frequently along the Jersey Shore in recent years.
