    Yep, Half-Tail has been around for a while. Half-Fin grew up an orphaned dolphin. His dad left early on and his mom was killed in a tug boat accident when he was just a cub chasing redfish at the Three-Mile Bridge. As a juvenile he spent much of his time in the seedy areas of Bayou Chico, where he learned to hustle, panhandle, and fight for food. This was for survival. He was a formidable opponent- often taking on several dolphins at one time and winning. He was once jumped by five dolphins where he suffered a debilitating eye injury. But he's also a hero. He once saved a baby manatee from certain death when he untangled it from the grips of a shrimp boat net that it was caught in. In that brave rescue he took a prop hit to his fin. Having matured, he's now become a local celebrity, and has been given the affectionate name Half-Fin. Today he spends much of his time basking in the sun near the Pensacola Pass, where he's always quick to greet passersby with a friendly hello and warm smile.

    I’m a fan, buddy. You’re doing a great job and the video quality has improved greatly over the past year (I was AF Combat Camera). My 13-year-old and I love watching your fishing adventures from our home here in Mobile. We fish from Mobile to Destin, so always looking for new spots and pointers.
