We watched a large Orca stalking a pod of finback whales about 120 miles off Vancouver Island in 2007 VIDEO

How kewl. some people have all the fun. Thanks for sharing this.

Interestingly the Orcas would move off a distance, blow, and then come full speed towards the Mother and her baby.

It was at Monterrey Bay,CA. She had given birth and was behind the Pod. She decided to take a shortcut, which put her in direct route of the Orcas laying in wait. she would put her body betwen the Orcas and the baby, taking the full brunt of the attacks. children were crying and people very upset.
She managed to get the baby close to shore where the Orcas would not come. Just amazing.
