Like Jonah: Fisherman says he was swallowed by humpback

NEW YORK - It sounds like a real-life take on "Pinocchio" -- a US lobster fisherman says he was scooped into the mouth of a humpback whale Friday and yet lived to tell the story.

He was about 35 feet down and his first thought was that he had been attacked by a shark, but the lack of teeth and obvious wounds made him reconsider. The story says Packard's fishing mate Josiah Mayo "saw the explosion of water as the whale surfaced and Packard was ejected," but doesn't include any quotes attributed to him.

Robbins said she had never heard of an "accident" of this type, but "it may be that he was just in the wrong place at the wrong time."
