Nine dolphin in one day?

Ever caught nine dolphin in one day? These guys had the trip of a lifetime in South Florida earlier this month:

Anyone ever had a day like this of their own?

Good day right there. It has been pretty scarce lately. A few months ago we had a killer day. 8 dolphin, 5 black fins, 3 sails, and two kings.

I've caught 40 or 50 in a day, but never with that size at the same time...Good Jpb !

Won a tournament with a 57, 44, 41, 6 in the 30's, 10 in the 20's, and countless teens. We were at our limit, but it was a total weight tournament, so they had to die. Not particularly proud of it. We had live bait while everyone around us was trolling ballys.

Is 9 in one day really that rare down here, or just 9 big fish?

My best dolphin day we bailed them for hours, released probably 20:1... and still came home with over 30 fish. All found under a commercial net that was drifting free, and had a ton of debris in it.

great day! We caught 23 once, half were release (too small)

9 dolphin is not unusual, however I would be thrilled with those fish, especially in a tourney. Usually when we get a bunch its a couple big ones and the rest not even gaffers.
