Dunno if the narrator is just hamming it up for the audience but what he says completely contradicts the article:

> The four-story wall of water was finally confirmed in February 2022 as the most extreme rogue wave ever recorded.

Video says it was a 5-story wave.. "60 feet", article's wave was 58 feet.

The one confirmed in 2022 wasn’t the biggest ever recorded in overall height, but the biggest compared to the other “regular” waves occurring around it.

No footage of the actual wave, annoying

I'm sorry but this reeks of made up bullshit for TV on a show that would be notoriously boring if not for invented drama. I'm sure they took a wave but I don't see any evidence that it was a rogue wave.
