Half tail or “Halfie” has been a regular in Pensacola Bay for over 12 years. He is always alone and very friendly.

[@BamaSaltwater]

Yes, I have had a few friends message me . Such an amazing mammal. It looks like it has ever missed a meal! LOLOL

[@cryptojay727]

thats awesome as much as i hate the tax man i do love when this type of stuff happens lol

[@toddgodwin8868]

We met half tail 5 years ago.

[@bigdaddyleroy1915]

we have a celebrity dolphin at calcasieau lake in Louisiana that is albino. he is bubble gum pink. his name is pinky.

[@navyfederal1650]

Halftail a greedy little bastard I’ll tell u what 🤣 buddy be coming up to everyone tryna see who’s gonna be a sucker next, good dude tho

[@TimNye850]

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.

[@AJBraun-qg8gg]

A great yarn!

[@danielleturner9513]

Sounds like killers story from half baked

[@TheMythicalDeer]

How know so much about it are you sure your not a dolphin too?

[@slattery_bizz8533]

Nah no way... the only explanation for this, is that your probably his dad that left out on him smh

[@bruceyee5527]

The dolphin that came to see you was Half Fin. He actually wanted you to pet him. He's very well known in the Pensacola area very friendly comes and checks out all the fishermen.

[@bradensalcetti2]

You should of caught a fish and fed it to him

[@texoutlaw1732]

Spring, Tx

[@thesquadplays3967]

@@bradensalcetti2 kinda wrong to catch and feed him the fish plus might be a lot of work considering laws

[@Flanker234]

I love your yappin'! It's part of the reason we watch, keep doin' what your doin'!

[@johnnycopus211]

Appreciate you for releasing the fish you don’t eat

[@stephencorbett5519]

That’s Half Tail! Local Celebrity that makes appearances on KZbin a few times a year!

[@ianschwartz1222]

Been watching from New Jersey, you should definitely come up striper fishing one day! This years fall run was one of the best in a long time, nonstop crazy fishing. This has quickly become one of my favorite channels, no bs and extra talking, straight to fishing which is rare on KZbin nowadays. Keep up the amazing content!

[@BamaSaltwater]

Yes!! I would love too !!! Thanks so much for the support. I am a Fisherman 1st, and videographer 2nd ;)

I live on Pensacola Beach, and that dolphins name is Half Tale. Apparently he was attacked by a shark. At least that's the story on the beach. He's hanging around your boat because a lot of people do feed him.

[@BamaSaltwater]

That seems to be the common story I've heard! He aint missed a meal haha!

[@justinM88]

That dolphin 🐬 was neat. And bass pro needs to contact u about that jig. Great video.

[@AO-lg4in]

You Ace Video, and High Adventure videos are my favorite fishing channels

[@lexrichardson7820]

Haha haha-!! That’s awesome-! “ insert fish in mouth” said the dolphin!

[@BamaSaltwater]

100% haha, he's programmed for it now I believe since his size says he hasn't missed a meal haha!

[@paulclayton5461]

Currently mobilized with the navy and just purchased a hat and two of those sweet jigs. Hopefully they’ll bring me some luck on my fishing endeavors while I’m out here. Keep up the amazing videos 🤙

[@henrikbergman4055]

From across the pond. Every time I watch this channel I get a bunch of Forest Gump flashbacks. But apart from those, today I got: -"Tell me are you a Christian child?" And I said -"Ma'am I am tonight"". Keep up the positive spirit, and I want to thank you for yet another beautiful video.

[@lbeliel4128]

Bama, Reds in the sunlight are absolutely beautiful!

[@markjustice9857]

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours! Watching from Nebraska. I found your channel a few weeks ago and have been binge watching since. You have so much variety in the fish species and locations to find them at your disposal. Wow! That's living on the coast I guess. Thank you for taking time to show your rigs and the bait used. Very helpful. Thanks again for the great content.

You should put a single hook on your homemade painted jig.!

[@BamaSaltwater]

I would, and have considered a few options, but the hookup is terrible on some of those lead jigs with single hooks! Maybe on my 2 Ouncers I'll add some assist hooks
