    Wyatt Yager , 19, and his 16-year-old brother Colin are being hailed as heroes for saving two fishermen after a whale flipped over their boat .

    Wyatt and his brother were nearby as a giant whale breached the water and knocked the fishing boat upside down, sending Gregg Paquette and Ryland Kenney into the water.

    "We didn't see him for a couple of minutes, and then the next thing we knew, he popped up and landed right on the transom of the boat," Paquette told WCVB .

    "When I turned, the whale's head was already landing on the engine," he added. "So when I saw that, then all of a sudden, I look down, the boat is pitching up, the transom is going down into the water."

    Wyatt and Colin didn't hesitate and rushed over to help Paquette and Kenney, pulling them out of the water.

    Miraculously, the two men were unhurt after getting tossed from their fishing boat.

    "Truly grateful to them," said Paquette. "They were making the video, dropped everything, zoomed right over, and plucked us out."

    "It's kind of a miracle that I'm alive," Kenney said. "I don't know what was going through my head. Just, kind of, survival."
