The dolphins are annoying as I've ever remembered.
They never seemed to be a problem when I was younger.
We saw a tagged one, we were going to kill it to turn the tag in like a duck band, but didn't know who to send it to.
We had to release 75+ 11.5 inch trout and they are there waiting on every single one that goes back. There is no way a size limit can be beneficial anymore.
If i catch 50 fish keep 25 and release 25 and the dolphins eat 1/2 of those how it that good for the trout population.
/rant over.

I freaking hate dolphins. I would be real careful talking about killing one because there are some folks around that think dolphins hung the moon.
I did a little Dolphin harassing the other day, but I will not give specifics. AHouseDivided can verify the awesomeness of my harassment. I mostly harassed the dolphin to let it know who is boss so in case I fall in the water, I don't get taken to its rape cave.

You will never hate a dolphin as much as a deckhand trolling for billfish does. Those damned dolphins will come up and bite every single ballyhoo and mackerel off right behind your hook. It's worse than clearing grass all day.
At least you can kill hogs and eat some if them.

Hogs no doubt
It's an exponential problem

I've run into dolphin number 33 and 46 on multiple occasions at 4-bayous and behind grand terre. They are a real pain

Hogs easily. I don't hate dolphins. On my last two trips to GI, they were everywhere, and caused us no issues at all. I just need a certain board member to stop feeding them.

Not sure what is meant by "harassing" dolphins, but I'll just leave this idea with you:
Tie a pretty good size lead weight to the end of your line- no hooks, lures, etc. Cast that weight directly at the dolphin as hard as you can. It will run a porpoise off in seconds. Yeah, it works. I've seen it!!
Learned this tactic from a guide in Florida in whom I have complete faith. Works like a charm. Might be a well-known trick to some, but I had never heard of it till several years ago.

Hogs. I think anyone that would answer differently hasn't had many experiences with them. I saltwater fish more than I hunt, and while dolphins can ruin a trout school, steal your fish, etc., they don't ruin your equipment or the environment. They are frustrating for sure, but you can always get away from them. On the other hand, the hogs have been ruining our feeders, rooting up holes and trenches in our fields and all over the property really. I just put out a brand new tripod feeder and within 6 days they had broken off the legs to get to the corn. 
Not to mention those bastards reproduce 3 times a year and multiply exponentially. They destroy crops. They will charge you if you walk up on one in the dark.
I dislike dolphins (while fishing); I absolutely fricking despise hogs.

I have been preaching for years that specks should be 25 fish and go home. NO size limit just creel.

Hogs. Not a whole lotta problems with dolphins up here in the hills

Since I don't hunt or have land, I'll have to go with the latter.
I don't however hate them, they do become a nuisance sometimes though.
