See how the last part of the video shows coordinated jumping that's just a schooling behaviour maybe the first couple dozen were busting bait.

I've seen a wall of Dolphins 500 meters wide and I swear not one of them was out of synch it was amazing.

The guy I was fishing with, this was out of Zihuatanejo, was grabbing my arm and shouting in Spanish, this is a guy who spend upward of 200 days a year on the water he had never seen anything so incredible.

This past summer we had at least 200 dolphins surround our boat...and just as they did, we hooked a 22lbs Spring. It went bazeerk and the dolphins were hitting the line...I have no idea how it didn't break off but we caught it. Here's a vid I took of it at the time.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PW1DUrH2H0w&feature=channel_page

Feeding dolphins-The first time that I saw any dolphins on the "inside" was in 1983 when about a half dozen went rocketing under our boat. About three years ago when comming back to Nanaimo on the ferry I saw about two hundred on one side of the boat and another one hundred on the other. I thought that they were feeding on something and as it was late April I thought that they were feeding on bluebacks.

I find it interesting that the rise in the "inside" dolphin population seems to be at the same time as the decline in the "inside" coho population particularly as I understand that they now number into the thousands
