Near the end of the clip, a whale vocalized close to a fishing pier full of people. 

Listen to what a fisherman said in the background near the end of the clip. He said there was no need to take a boat out to the ocean, the whales came to the pier. One of the whales was actually under the pier a day ago.

In my opinion, when you take a boat out to see the whales, the skipper can go after them actively. When you watch whales on a pier, you can only passively wait for them to come to you. The fishermen are lucky because they can keep themselves busy with their rods and the whale encounters becomes icing on the cake. If you wait for whales, it can wear out your patience really quickly.

When I arrived at the end of the pier this morning, a fisherman told me that a whale was slapping its tail flukes on the water just 50 yards away. When I left for the day, I looked back at the pier from my car half a mile away, I saw a whale swinging its pectoral fin in the air right at the end of the pier. I missed those close encounters just by minutes. I was just unlucky today.
