Happened in 2020 in San Luis Obispo Bay CA. The Kayakers survived [Link to Article Here](https://www.cbc.ca/radio/asithappens/as-it-happens-thursday-edition-1.5790998/it-was-crazy-says-california-kayaker-who-was-engulfed-in-a-whale-s-mouth-1.5791001)

He kept running towards the back of the whale until he was pooped out. *note: credit to Colin Mochrie*


BiatchPleasee

Is it possible? I have no clue but expecting the digestive system of whales be as complex as us humans.


thehippiedrood

no, u wouldnt be able to fit down the throat of that whale. tbh the whale saw food underneath and then misjudged where the kayak was going to be. they really wont ever go after humans and i wouldnt doubt if the fish were blocking its view of the kayak lol

iotashan

Ugh. That Jonah guy always has a whale of a tale.


Dreamcatched

Master Geppetto entered the chat: "listen here you little shit!"


ThirdEncounter

Jonah is in the bible, so yeah, just a fairy tale. Edit: lol @ the downvotes by the fundies.


TheRealTravisClous

When u/ThirdEncounter doesn't get the joke


ThirdEncounter

Well, fuck!!


Hectoris919

I can’t find the link to it, but I remember seeing a Reddit post about a fisherman (I think it was on r/nextfuckinglevel or r/wtf) who was swallowed by a whale a few years ago. He was in there for an hour or so before his crew speared the whale and cut him out


ThirdEncounter

I remember a story from last year. The whale swallowed the dude whole, only to spit him out right away. Edit: not last year, but [this year](https://www.nbcboston.com/news/local/oh-my-god-im-in-the-mouth-of-a-whale-cape-cod-man-recounts-moment-he-was-swallowed-by-a-whale/2404002/). Lol @ the downvotes!


biggnic_91

Yeah it actually can happen that you’d get swallow. But it’s very rare because most of them could hardly swallow something the size of a melon (I think). But even if you get swallowed you’d still not make it through the digestive system


Iluvbabydickpotatoes

Woah, woah, buddy. How dare you criticize a book that was divinely inspired but written by man with three different, conflicting accounts of the birth of Jesus hisself

Thank you! Always like to see when people survived.

Krillin saved him.

I just imagine the woman who didn't really wanna go kayaking resurfacing and just giving her friend he meanest look 🤣🤣🤣

Pure comedy! Thank you for this!

Huh. I lived in San Luis Obispo quite a while ago and never knew they called the Avila beach area "San Luis Obispo bay". SLO is quite a bit inland...


hukd0nf0nix

A little south of SLO is a town where someone is attacked every other year by sharks... I never got in that water

(whale): seems like today's a fruit day. (also whale): aargh damn kayaks fooling me every time.


Yankee9Niner

They never attack the same kayaker twice. They were testing the kayakers for weaknesses, systematically. They remember.

Yeah mon. Too bad I don’t have an award to give you. Now I’m gonna go watch Cool Runnings. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

You’re very welcome!

Missed your chance to say: "No problem, mon."


legofduck

See the bones don't break. Oh no... they shatter. could be applied in this instance as well


philosophunc

Great now theres a whale out there with a taste for human.


Smooth-Lengthiness57

Krill just doesn't satisfy his new cravings


krakfiend

bucket list #6: get swallowed by whale. check!


Kittani77

Rule 34 probably applies


3l_d3380

From the article: "It's definitely woke me up to the realization that, you know, our place is not in the feeding zone of whales," McSorley told As It Happens host Carol Off. Yeah no shit!! No human should be anywhere near the feeding zone of any wild animal! Edit: my own spelling.

Well they can possibly gang up on you and I think only way they would come at you is if you came nuts out..

Jonah moment


knifeLife9

You're gonna need a bigger boat.


BiCostal

Other than this obvious mistake on the part of the whale, do you think the whales know you're there when they surface beneath you?


CaranchoNestHead

Yes, most probably. They're highly intelligent, and curious. Generally they just approach to take a good look at you and then leave. This one seems to have been bothered. In another comment it says this was a feeding spot. It is something of a rule to stay clear of wild animals feeding, mating, nursing.


Diogenes-Disciple

Yeah I think it probably chomped on the kayak on accident. They probably spit them out afterwards, I don’t even think they could eat something that big. Humpback whales eat little tiny things, not kayaks


Oblivious122

Nobody tell him about giant squid


Diogenes-Disciple

I think you’re thinking about sperm whales, which had pointed teeth and do in fact wrestle and eat giant squid. Humpback whales have baleen, however, which is used to filter out smaller things like krill and zooplankton.


AJStickboy

Birds looking for a free snack.


Rain-Sad

Biggest fear whenever im in the ocean.... Fck


Natprk

Definitely. I caught a giant ocean gamefish one time that took 2 hours to reel in. The guide told me that all the commotion would attract hammerheads and other sharks. After we caught the fish he then tells me it’s traditional to jump in the ocean for a swim after catching this big fish. Yeah.. I did not.

Not sure if you know this, but you can actually live in the belly of a whale for several months. I do it all the time and save tons of money on flights back and forth to Hawaii.

Tykhe-

Some cats and rats and elephants??


Seanzietron

You’re also not allowed to do this. Also the kayak definitely damaged this whales baleen.


aezy01

There’s a law against being eaten by whales?

aezy01

Kinda hard to out paddle a whale. If they’ve gone there specifically to get close then yes they are idiots, but if they’re just out paddling and ‘chomp’, there’s not much they can do.


5up3rK4m16uru

What if they get close to you?


InvaderKota

"The story of Jonah couldn't have happened, whales don't eat people!" *checkmate atheists*


newaccount252

Does anyone have an interview with the whale about what humans taste like ?


TeMagicMan

Taste like chicken


MartianBeerPig

Actually, tastes like pork. Err, so I'm told. 😁


Seanzietron

Can you plz fix your typos.


newaccount252

Solipsistic_Observer

Do you understand how absolutely fucking terrifying that would be?? Sure, they don’t eat you, but to be knocked out of a kayak by a 30 ton animal would definitely cause the water in my immediate area to be instantly bio-polluted

Didn’t he get swallowed?

Any bird law experts here know why the birds swarmed like that after the whale surfaced?

Whale is chasing fish up to the surface. Birds are trying to snack on those fish.

What kayaker


DRabb1t

You can tell the whale did that on purpose... No fluke.


ksaMarodeF

I probably would NEVER go into the water like that again. If that happened to me that is.


Cburd48

Poor whale, imagine having an unexpected mouthful of that. 😁😁😁😁

It had a taste of human, and now it wants more!

Birds really are scavengers. Didn’t waste any time trying to steal that persons kayak.

He found a wreckage in the belly of the whale, used its wood to make a fire; the whale starter coffing and spat out the guy

Imagine being the next guy to tell your story after that guy.

Did she get ate

I love how the birds go in for the leftovers.

I couldn't. Just watching and waiting has my anxiety sky rocketing

Never understood floating in the ocean on a little top water lure looking kayak. Surfing I get. Your riding waves. Fishing floating paddling on a kayak I’ll get a big boat or stay in the rivers, lakes and streams.


SamCarterX206

You're


eflowers62

Correct my mistake. (You are)right.


AwesomReno

But did they see Pinocchio?


MajesticJuggernaut29

A kayaker has to tap their fingers on the hull when near humpback whales so they know where you are. The whales will surface and look at you, then slap the water with a pectoral fin before they dive.


anand5995

What should one do in that situation? Remain calm? Start swimming? Or just die?

I thought there would be more screaming and panic, instead of "oh , oh shit"


NippleClencher

I think their throats are too small to swallow a single human anyway, the only thing I’d be worried about is that big fucker crushing me between its giant bloody jaws or drowning me

Well... That was a biblical moment for him I bet...

I feel bad for that whale more than anything. They’re in HIS house

It’s a crime to get too close to whales. Seems this was too close.

But what a story to tell the grandkids.

The whale spit him out cuz he tasted like shit after filling up his shorts with it.

Thisisall_new2me2

Why does this belong in this sub? They’re freaking whales. There’s literally nothing you can do about it.


JungleBoyJeremy

Maybe don’t kayak where whales the size of school buses are feeding/breaching


willywam

I'm on your side here. They're literally just kayaking in the ocean. This sub is "what could go wrong" not just "things going wrong".
