Occurred on August 3, 2020 / Clonakilty Bay, Ireland
Info from Licensor: "We were fishing 3 miles off the southwest coast of Ireland when we were surrounded by a large pod of whales and dolphins. We were filming the fin whale and 5-6 minke whales around 100 dolphins feeding on a bait ball 200 meters away when another larger minke of 15ft slammed into my boat. This collision drove the boat back and out of the water. The collision threw me overboard and David on to the deck. My lifejacket inflated and I swam back to the boat."
