How easy was that?

A friend of mine sent me this fishing report pretty funny:



While deep-dropping off North Bimini last week, I noticed two frigate birds working very high about a half mile North of us. We picked up and started to investigate when we noticed a school of porpoise in the area. After a few minutes the frigates were on the surface and the porpoise appeared to be moving. As we moved closer with dorado rods in hand we noticed that the porpoise had a school of bait fish to the surface and were taking turns eating them. When the bait moved left or right they were pushed back together and when they attempted to dive a porpoise would swim up-side down below the school to keep the bait on the surface. This was the most effective extermination of a school of fish I had ever witnessed.



It appeared that the porpoise were going to continue this process until everyone of the Yellowtails were eaten. We took a few photos and were amazed at how close we could get to the action, that's when my crew decided to try an innovative method of catching them. On the first attempt the Yellowtail seemed to go straight thru the net and not a single fish was caught. On the second attempt I positioned the boat in front of them and slowed speed, well the results are in the photos. We ended up with 3 successful dips and harvested 30 Yellowtail snapper without hook or bait.



The porpoise then decided that the competition was too great and they circled the remaining Yellowtails and finished the school in seconds.

I'd love to see these pictures, but all I get is the dreaded red X?

Cool report, but no red Xs and no pics...
