Today I had a special opportunity save the life of another mammal in need. Around 9 am I noticed a baby dolphin alone with no mother. This made me a little curious. This dolphin kept surfacing every minute or so as well. I put away my gear and attempted to get closer to see what was wrong with him. It seems he had been tangled up badly with a large clump of fishing line. After multiple attempts to pedal up to him and free him myself I made the call to Sea World Rescue to aid in the rescue attempt. They advised me to follow him until they arrived which I gladly did. After a little over an hour of trailing the dolphin they arrived and saved this little guys life. It took me a while to figure out who to call so if you ever need assistance keep this number in your phone 800-541-7325. I had the chance to save a life and made the call. With out assistance he most likely would have died. A life changing experience for sure. You will never know what you will get! No YT, but I wouldn't trade today's fishing experience for a YT any day of the week. Happy trails little guy!

Thanks for all the wonderful responses everyone, it was truly a special day. I made a video just for memory sake and for my classroom if you want to watch it. Tight lines all!
