A book I'm reading on the gray whale didn't come right out and say it, but apparently the larger whales don't taste so good and not much nutrition in the blubber (sadly the same can't be said of the smaller arctic whales such as the beluga and narwhal, which is why the traditional societies still hunt them), so the appeal simply seems to be killing something big to be able to boast.
