Finally! 4/24 - video added for Skinneej!

Finally manned up and got out despite seas being a little bigger than I prefer. Since the A team was “unavailable” I got to scout some new talent who aquitted themselves in excellent fashion. Fishing was a little slow. Started at SWBanks with a tunny, then trolled to GTHole. Water temps were nice 72-73 all day and weather got better and better but little bait and no flyers. Found a weed gathering and pulled three mahi off it. Followed after lunch with a day maker Wahoo on, of course, the fluoro rigged shotgun! Worked him very carefully to the boat where I was relieved to find I still remembered how to use a gaff! Good thing too since he spit the hook soon as he hit the deck. Unofficial spring scale weighed him in at 70 lbs.
Now I know the gaff still works, look out mahi here we come!!!

Nice Haul!!! How much did that stud hoo weigh?

With rates so low, now may be the perfect time to refinance or purchase your dream home. If you are thinking about home financing give me a ring!</font id=“blue”>

Nice Catch thats a big wahoo!

My biggest worry is that my wife (when I’m dead) will sell my fishing gear for what I said I paid for it.

Well done! That is one nice wahoo!

Jealous here… both times we have been out this spring the weather has chased us back into the harbor.

Do not tell fish stories where the people know you; but particularly, don’t tell them where they know the fish.
