What test line do you use for whales? What bait? Do you have to get a
special license?


I have a professional hand held Harpoon with 4 metal barrel floats... each
with 100' of 1/2" rope and a detachable harpoon head attached. It's part of
the gear I have in storage from my commercial fishing days. It was used for
marlin etc from the bow of my 30' Cape Islander. I believe it would suit the
purpose..... but I'm not a fan of whale meat and refuse to kill anything
unless I plan to eat it, use it or in self defence.

It is to my knowledge illegal to kill any whale in Canadian waters unless
you are Inuit.

What! You have no explosive tipped harpoon's like the Japs use...?
I thought you clubbed babie seals and put them on a hook squirming to
catch killer whales for Sea World Toranto. Or was that Max....
