    The friendly whale nudged their boat as it made a surprise appearance in Middle Harbour, north of Sydney.
     
    The men soon noticed the whale, which circled the boat and swam underneath it, was asking for help and pulled out rubbish bags and fishing lines stuck in its mouth.

    Michael Riggio,17, took selfie snaps while his friend, Ivan Iskenderian, stretched over the boat to help the whale.
     
    Speaking to Manly Daily, Mr Riggio and Mr Iskenderian said the whole scenario was unbelievable.
     
    'It was surreal, we couldn’t believe our eyes,' said Ivan.
     
    Laughing while attempting to help the whale and record what was happening, the fishermen were excited about being up close to the creature.
     
    Ron Kovacs was fishing in another boat opposite the young fisherman when the whale made his first appearance. 
     
    Bopping hia head out of the water, Mr Kovacs noticed the whale needed some help. 
     The large mammal swam from one boat to another until the garbage caught in its mouth was removed
    'He just popped his head up so you could reach out and remove the garbage. He tried on my boat but we are a bit higher,' Mr Kovacs said
     
    'I made one grab for the bag but missed. He was very enquisitive and more interested in us. 
     
    'You could see that big eye coming out watching us. They are not dumb for sure.'

    'He has a big scar on his back. He had some fishing line and two plastic bags on his head. I managed to grab at it but missed. 
     
    'He later came up to a trailer boat and presented his head as they removed the bag,' Mr Kovac wrote.
    The whale appeared to flap its fin in appreciation after the fishermen successfully managed to help it
    After the rubbish is removed from the whale's mouth, the creature is seen swimming away while flapping its fin - apparently showing its appreciation.
