John - The dolphins love your boat's bow wave at 00:20, which to me is a good sign. I loved watching them when on a boat dive as when we slowed to approach a dive site, some would hang around to interact with us if we got in the water quickly enough. I always believed that with dolphins with us while diving that any aggressive sharks found other places to be. Stay safe and healthy.

So, I'm a sailor in the USN, been in for about 15 years now. Short sea story involving dolphins: One deployment, about 11 years ago, the ship was transitioning from Hawaii to Guam; I was on the midwatch, so it was my teams job to reset the blackout blinders, turn lights on, etc... So dawn breaks, I head out to amidships to reset things, and apart from an absolutely stunning sunrise happening, I notice two things; 1) We were at almost perfect sea state 0, meaning the surface was almost like glass, and 2) the surface looked like it was BOILING. Turns out the ship was being followed by the largest pod of dolphins I've ever seen. Hundreds. Everywhere. Both sides of the ship. May have been thousands. I literally couldn't see where the pod ended, it was just a endless expanse of dolphins leaping around the ship and riding our wake in the red and orange brightening sky. I stood there gobsmacked for probably, I dunno, a solid 10 minutes just watching before I snapped out of it. I then realized that for all the shit, for all the frustration, for all the grief and blinding rage that the USN can cause in its idiocy, being able to stand there and see that sight, be a part of that moment, to see what so few would ever have a chance to, makes it all absolutely worth it.

James - Wreck fishing is utilizing man's contribution to undersea structures. Not always the safest place to fish so you never expect to return with all of your fishing tackle in hand.

Glad you enjoyed joining me mate. I do enjoy my wreck fishing at anchor. There are some monsters hiding down there. 😉🎣

WOW what an amazing ling, and to catch it on your set up is even more impressive. Well done John yet another brilliant video 👍👍👍👍👍👍

I must admit, there was a little bit of luck involved in landing that fish. That little strip of lumi tube for example really saved me. 😉
