A surfer looking to catch some waves was delighted when he got the catch of the day instead.
Nicholas Smith was around 70m from shore during his morning surf at Duranbah, in Tweed Heads, NSW, when around ten dolphins surrounded him.
The dolphins were hunting a school of mackerel tuna and Mr Smith was able to pluck one right out of the water.
'I reached into the water and grabbed a tuna by its tail with my bare hands, it must've weighed about eight kilos,' Mr Smith said in the Gold Coast Bulletin.
