Dolphin leaps onto boat, injuring woman

A dolphin leaped onto a boat in Southern California, crashing into a woman and breaking both her ankles.
Chrissie Frickman was boating with her husband and two children June 21 when a pod of dolphins swam alongside them. One of the animals jumped on the vessel, knocking Frickman over and landing on her legs, the Orange County Register reported.
Her husband, Dirk, pulled her out and called authorities as he headed toward an Orange County harbor. While he steered, he splashed water on the 350-pound dolphin to keep it alive as it thrashed around and bled from some cuts.
"I could hear my phone buzzing and beeping on the floor - it was covered in blood," he said.
Dirk Frickman got help pulling the dolphin onto a dock with a rope and then releasing it.
"The dolphin was hopefully saved," Frickman said. "It swam away with no problem."
His wife is still recovering from her injuries.
Harbor Patrol Sgt. DJ Haldeman confirmed the incident. He said sea lions have been known to jump aboard boats before, but that this is the first he's heard of a dolphin doing the same.
"I don't know what was in the water, but something must have scared it out," Haldeman said.

damn lucky that is all of the injuries...a dolphin is a massive animal and one flying through the air could easily kill someone...

They should have made a roux

I've always wondered what it would be like to hook one.

Dirk Frickman. There's a joke there somewhere.
Good of him to make an effort to save the animal too.

I have seen it twice.
Go tie your line to the back of a crotch rocket and hold on while someone fully opens the throttle and you'll have a good idea what it would be like.

this happened to a friend of mine while we were trolling...I am thinking that the dolphin just got snagged by the bait...
the dolphin turned and ran and immediately spooled him and snapped his line...as I said earlier, they are some massive animals and have far more power than fish that you regularly catch...

Might be a dumb question, but have you ever had dolphins frick up your trout bite?

When the Dolphins show up, the bite is over. (At least for me)
Dude's name sounds like a profanity filter.

WTF?? frick that dolphin. He breaks my wife's ankles and he's getting a blade to the blowhole. I hate dolphins.

I understand I'm in the minority but I have my reasons:
1. They blow up my trout bite
2. Every time my wife sees one I have to look, even though they're everywhere.
3. I once saw a dolphin penis. The sight of it scarred me

Some of my best trout trips involved dolphins within 15' of my boat.

Boat's level of dolphin hate leads me to believe he's done more than just seen a dolphin penis.

that's awesome. so glad for you. but can you tell me you'd really be wetting a dolphin down if he broke your wife's ankles?

so no one agrees with me that dolphins blow up a trout bite 95% of the time? Do you even read this board?

Yes.
Speaking of douches...

Are you feeling ok? You really hate when someone disagrees with you, don't you?
