Understand it is rare and usually not solitary but after several hours reading through descriptions it best fits what I saw. was making a series of zig zag lunges as though it was chasing individual salmon. Not fully porpoising more a fast lunge in a straight line half surfacing full length then repeating in another direction. Almost as big as an adult orca without the coloration. Rounder head with a slightly smaller dorsal than an orca. I'm pretty familiar with minke, dolphins and dalls so not them. | |||||||||
