Hundreds of dolphins jumping in a line (Dolphin stampede)

This video was taken on the 4ht of July week in the summer of 2007 on a tuna fishing trip out of Ocean City Maryland. Another great day of fishing ended with a rare exhibition of nature. It started with just 8 dolphins swimming around the boat as we were trolling for tuna. Then slowly, more and more dolphins joined the jumping party until we had more than the eye could see on the horizon in both directions. As they passed the boat we had hundreds of dolphins jumping and swimming in unison past our boat. It was an awesome site. What a way to end the day great day of fishing.

PS: Over Under Charters (www.overundercharters.com) has an awesome crew and set of boats to work with if you want big tuna. Three trips in three years and we have never been skunked. Well done Capt'n John O and mates!

The trip was in the summer time (July). We were 3 hours off the coast of Ocean City MD with the great crew at overunder adventures.

On a tuna fishing trip, eh? How ironic, given that so many dolphins perish in fishing nets.

Anyway, these common dolphins have assumed a scout formation, combing through the water in search of fish. That's why they weren't interested in the boat and merely passed by.

All who believe that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died for their sins, was buried and rose again will have eternal life in Heaven. Call upon the Lord Jesus Christ and believe in Him for eternal life! God loves you, and Jesus is the way.

@Ilavenya maybe it would be ironic if they were using nets.... anyway, how many dolphins die a year in fishing nets?

Jesus, they looked like they were going about 30mph...
