Some fishermen in New Jersey had a close call when a massive whale lunged out of the water to catch some fish and nearly smashed them in the process. Zach Piller caught the terrifying and exhilarating moment on video and posted it to Instagram.

“Insanely close call for the fellas in NJ!!!” wrote Aclassic in a collaboration post with Piller. “The whale ended up hitting the side of the boat, but don’t worry, they still landed the fish!!”
“That is by far the coolest and most terrifying experience of all time,” wrote one person in the comments section.
