Three fishermen were fishing near the Hole in the Rock, a picturesque spot off the far north coast of New Zealand's North Island .

The 11-foot-11 -foot juvenile male dolphin jumped aboard the open-top boat, owner Dean Harrison says.

" One minute everything was fine and then just like lightning striking, there's a big dolphin in our boat thrashing around and breaking everything," he says.

The creature's flailing snapped "every single fishing rod we had in the boat".
