Dolphin weighing over 900 pounds jumps from water, lands on fishermen's boat: "Just like lightning striking"

A placid fishing trip turned "berserk" for three New Zealand men when a dolphin weighing more than 900 pounds appeared to fall out of the sky before crash-landing in their small boat.

No one was badly hurt when the 11-foot bottlenose dolphin jumped aboard the open-top boat Friday, said Dean Harrison, the owner of the nearly 16-foot vessel.

Harrison and two companions were fishing near the Hole in the Rock, a picturesque spot off the far north coast of New Zealand's North Island, while dolphins frolicked ahead. The men saw a shadow across the bright summer sun and heard an almighty boom — before chaos unfolded.
