Check out this dolphin chasing a fish in catch and release then catch and eat shot with a drone. Look as the startled stingrays break cover of the sand.

The daft fish kept swimming back in front of the dolphin each time it had just managed to escape the jaws.
Darwinian selection at its finest.
Great footage though. Nicely done.

Great drone flying keeping track of the dolphin.

I like the fish pulling a sharp turn and whipping around behind the dolphin LOL... If that was in Canada, the drone operator would likely be in jail now. They don't like people "harassing" wildlife

Do you think P.O.I. was being used? I'm still new, so be kind please.

No I don’t think poi was used.

He was not harassing wildlife in that the drone did not change the habits of the wildlife. But I agree if wildlife was reacting to the noise and or sound of the drone, watch out!

that was fun to watch, I'm glad the video was still up. West coast of Central Florida for me Indian Rocks Beach. I'm a captain retired I wish I'd had these when I was chartering. I'm still going to use it to chase Tarpon down the beach in a month. Captain Ken

That flying was unbelievable. To keep that tussle in the center for so long! Amazing viewing but how did they do it? I have tried it and never got anywhere close to that accurate flying.

Great videography in a difficult filming environment due to the erratic and quick movement of the subject. What aircraft was used?

It doesn’t say. It was filmed by Michael McCarthy from See Through Canoe.

I know he wasn't harassing wildlife... that's why I put it in quotes... However to a government official, they would consider it harassment and likely end up with a decent fine.
