These fishermen were greeted by dolphins off Murrells Inlet coast

What would you do if you were fishing and a pod of dolphins started swimming alongside you?

These fishermen off the Grand Strand coast made sure to catch the moment on video.

Captain Bevan Hunter with Chilly Water Fishing charter took advantage of good weather conditions and went on a last-minute family trip off Murrells Inlet on Sunday.

Hunter found himself surrounded by more than a dozen dolphins swimming beside his boat as they drifted through the water. The family was fishing about 30 miles off the coast.

Hunter’s son, Aubrey, captured the video of dolphins swimming around the boat for about 10 minutes.
