On September 17, two fisherman five miles off the coast of Western Australia were paid a visit by a playful humpback whale. Troy Piggott and Phil Corban found their 4.5 meter boat dwarfed by the ocean giant, who basked, dipped and dived around them for about 30 minutes. Troy told Storyful that the whale got so close they could have touched it. Watch the video to see just how special their experience really was. Credit: Facebook/Troy Piggott
