C’mon you ever see a big shark take a small shark? You need to go fishing more!

Sharks are noted for eating everything they can get their teeth around including rolls of tar paper.

They would be considered the exception to the rule.

It is a well-known fact that sharks and barracuda only ever eat scuba divers.

Tracey ought to spend some time observing bluefish (pomatomus saltatrix).
Their young, live, whole or cut make excellent bait for the gorillas.

In additipn to my #28, there is this from Wiki

In turn, bluefish are preyed upon by larger predators at all stages of their lifecycle. As juveniles, they fall victim to a wide variety of oceanic predators, including striped bass, larger bluefish, fluke (summer flounder), weakfish, tuna, sharks, rays, and dolphins.

I'm gonna assume that by "dolphin" they mean dorado, mahi-mahi (Coryphaena hippurus)
Oddly, I've seen young bluefish (snappers) toss up fluke fry.

We have several fish including the dolphin, mahi mahi and grouper that feed on their own quite regularly,so I guess it all depends.

Below a big bull dolphin:
