American fishermen aren’t known for their accuracy. I haven’t read their account, but I’d be curious how credible it is. At the same time, what an experience, good chance it would sound fake even if it were real. This event is virtually unfathomable.

- codezero 6y agoThanks so much for sharing that. I like how he specifically called out that the 1700 feet was the height of splashes, and the wave itself was about 100 feet tall. The other fisherman said the face was about two boat lengths (40 foot boat) so these are really good observations, and seem to lack embellishment. Time to google search for a computer simulation of this.
