Have you heard of a new trend called "whaling?"

Like that amazing leap Willy the Orca Whale made in the movie "Free Willy," just not nearly as magnificent. Well, with the growing popularity, that's up for debate.

Take a look at the above video of Fox Carolina anchors, reporters, and staffers trying the trend.
