Epic Battle

The Sea Battle
I was surfing on a down day when I looked way out and saw a dolphin's water spout. I paddled to get closer, but when I sat up to see if it was still around, I noticed a small fish was jumping out of the water repeatedly. After 5 to 10 jumps, I noticed another, larger fish, herding the fish to the surfacing. After ~1 minute of jumping, the little fish looked like it was giving up and the larger fish went for the kill. This is when a tern swooped in and plucked the small fish from the jaws of the larger fish. It didn't end there.

The Air Battle
While trying to gain altitude, the tern was beset by a small gull. A short fight ensued, and the gull won the fish mid-air. The gull then made it 50 meters before a larger gull attacked it and forced it to drop the fish back into the water. That fish had one hell of a day.
