Barb Roettger had her camera rolling as two hefty whales popped out of the calm waters not far from the unsuspecting surfer and a pair of kayakers.   A pod of humpback whales has been hanging out off the Santa Cruz coast, noshing on anchovies that flock to the area to feed on plankton. The woman found herself in the middle of a feeding frenzy called lunge feeding, which occurs when whales herd anchovies and shoot straight up out of the water with their mouth wide open to catch the fish.   The whales have had quite a few close encounters with humans and boats in recent months. Whale watchers are reminded to stay at least 100 yards away from the feeding area. Roettger says she has now gained a greater respect for whales and their feeding patterns and will now only spectate from land.
