Reminded me of my youth as a NOAA Marine Biologist monitoring the Tuna fleet out of San Diego. I was embedded onboard a giant tuna seiner and when we came upon a school of dolphins with yellowfin tuna schooling beneath them, the speedboats would launch and begin circling around the dolphins, tightening the circle as they went, until the skipper of the seiner yelled "Let 'er go, let 'er go!!!" and the skiff would drop off and a giant purse seine would begin wrapping around the school. It really was an amazing operation to see. The vast majority of the time the dolphins were released unharmed - the other cases was why I was onboard.

Sorry, all of the above drivel not coin related, but it's funny how a simple set of words can bring back old memories...
