Every spring the humpback whales come to Knudson Cove,
Ketchikan, Alaska to bubble feed. Kyle Worman, owner of
Worman Sportfishing in Ketchikan, AK was walking the
docks of Knudson Cove Marina, when a large humpback
whale emerged next to him gaping mouth wide open. The
whales this spring have been putting on stunning
performances for the local boat captains who are getting their
boats ready for the summer fishing season. Bubble feeding
occurs when herring and krill are encircled by bubbles blown
by the whales. The shrinking column of bubbles forces the
herring to the surface, and the whales then break through the
bubbles and swallow.
