Smart whales. Let the humans do all the hard work then swipe everything at the last minute.

The whales are obviously doing it just for the “halibut.”

Wonder whether something like an automated stun gun would help. Killer whales get near a line of hooks or a net — ZZZAP

They are not really whales.

I was reeling a salmon into a boat once, in the Gastineau Channel (Juneau). While reaching over the transom to grab the salmon with a hook an orca breached and took the salmon.

Why I did not soil myself I have no idea...

Smart mammal that orca.

Here's the problem: Orcas (killer whales) are among THE most intelligent mammals on Earth outside of humans. As such, they figured out really fast how to get essentially a free meal. And since Orca pods can communicate with other pods over long distances, it won't be long before when the fishermen go out to catch halibut for the first time during the fishing season the Orcas are waiting out there already.

In recent study by UC Davis students the Intelligence of whales was compared to the average Democrat. Although the study was repressed it eventually leaked and the fact that the whales finished well ahead of the Dems is now considered common knowledge. 😎😎😎

Orcas continuously learn new stuff. And they share it with their pods.

They have brains. Good thing they don’t have thumbs.

Sometimes there will be just halibut “lips” still attached to hooks — if anything at all.

Wonder how much they can get for a pound of halibut lips?
