snippet The whale turned toward the boat just before the bomb attached to the well-placed harpoon went off.

“You have to throw it hard enough so the trigger rod will hit the muktuk,” she explained. “You try your best to kill it as fast as you can. Sometimes that doesn’t happen, but we were blessed this time because all it took was one bomb and it died.”

The whale died quickly, proving that the throw was well executed. The Ahmaogak crew’s whale measured in at 27 feet, 6 inches. But before celebrating commenced, the crew tied the front fins together, attaching a float, then used thick rope to tie the tail to the boat.

bomb?

Is that a traditional native Alaskan way to kill a whale?

It must be an acquired taste.
From photographs that I have seen, it looks like a quivering bowl of gelatin.
Glad that they enjoy it, yet I will stick to my traditional fare. ;-)
