Fishermen witness dolphin "stampede"
Fishing is one of those activities that's tailor-made for relaxing. Sure, there's some action involved when you finally hook a fish on the line, but until then there's pretty much nothing to do except sit back and relax. That was not the case however for a group of fishermen on a recent expedition in Mexico's Sea of Cortez. The group was out cruising when they came across a pod of dolphins and somebody pulled out a camera to record the scene.
The video clip starts with a few playful dolphins lunging out of the water. Around :35 or so into the clip the anglers are witness to an incredible sight as literally hundreds of dolphins begin lunging themselves out of the water at a frenzied pace. It's a surprisingly beautiful and amazing sight. Even if these guys never ended up catching anything on this particular trip, I think they probably went home quite happy.

Very cool; you can also see this spectacle, on a regular basis, in the waters off the island of Bimini. Pods of several hundred dolphin will be feeding in the afternoon.
