Flipper

A couple friends went shrimping near Hilton Head on Saturday. As they made their way towards the spot where they planned on fishing, a dolphin showed up alongside the boat and followed them. When they stopped and took out a fish to bait the net, the dolphin stood on its tail begging, so they tossed it a fish. Pretty soon it was eating out of their hands.

After a while another boat showed up so they stopped feeding the dolphin (it’s illegal.) Once they stopped feeding it, it swam over to the other boat. Promptly the folks in the other boat started feeding it too. This dolphin had either escaped from Seaworld or found out on its own that begging from fisherman is easier than chasing fish.

When our friends decided to go back to shrimping they realized they had to go back and get more bait. They had feed all theirs to the dolphin.

    So, how many trys did it take to get that great snap of the fish landing in the dolphin’s mouth? Or did you find a point and shoot camera with a shutter button with no delay? I find it very difficult to allow for the lag time on my Nikon P5100. We bought a D5100 to solve the problem and found some other nice features as well but of course we have to team up to lug it around.
