ok ok, so this isn't relevant to your post at if you're trying to elicit angry reactions you use bait. And it's surrounded by fishing metaphors... is it supposed to be... "trawling"?

I know the word "trolling" means "to provoke online", but before that, "trolling" simply meant "carefully and systematically search an area for something." or "fish by trailing a baited line along behind a boat."
If I'm not mistaken, "trawling" is with a net whereas "trolling" is with fishing lines.
Of course that is highly relevant to how people "troll" each other on the 'net, but I still always think of the fishing analogy or just generally browsing an area intently when I hear the word "troll". Of course the trolls of Norse legend were pretty much dicks to everyone, too, so I also think of that.

Problem was it didn't kill the dolphins. More often than not they were captured and sold on the black market

Bitch please, I worked on a boat just like this last summer. Never saw a dolphin, though I did see a few porpoises. The captain would have gone ballistic had we caught one, it's stupid illegal to keep it.
