Orcas eating bluefins off of OI today

[N2theBlue]

I"m waiting for somebody like fat2na to chime in and say they should have quit fishing for them

Speechless, never heard of Orcas on the east coast...very cool

Killer Whales (and possibly White Sharks to a much lesser extent) are the only natural predators for Giant ABT. Every once in a while you'll see a Giant Tuna landed that has a healed over scar from an encounter with an Orca.

I'm a bit surprised by this occurance off North Carolina because I would have thought the water temp there now a bit high for Orcas. I have heard that Canadian Giant Bluefin begin migrating out of the Gulf of St. Lawrence area (where they are particularly vulnerable) in late Oct/November when sea temps there fall to a point that accomodates these predators.

I've never heard of orca's here in NC either. That would be a sick sight.
