We went out Tuesday left early morning expecting it to be rough and a slow ride out. It turned out to be one of the nicest days I’ve seen in a while. The Bonita where at the Ross as well as the Kings ended up with 3 Kings and 12 Bonita. I know some people don’t eat them but I have enjoyed it as much as any tuna. I just put 2 down riggers on the boat and I was wondering what y’alls thoughts were on weight size I figure 50 ft down and 5 to 6 mph.
Nice catch. Wish I could get out during the week but work gets in the way. Haven’t eaten any Bonita before, but when I catch some I’ll definitely keep one to try it.

ive tried bonita once before and as long as it was marinated (used sesame oil, soy sauce, ginger, wasabi powder) it wasnt all that bad. plain meat on the other hand wasnt my favorite and will remain shark bait. nice work!
