With the knowledge that many fish tales are quite stretched, I would like to enter a tale of ours. I swear this is the truth, we left the dock at 8:30 AM and proceeded south. At 9:05 we had four hook ups. Mahi Mahi and plenty of them. As the fish were everywhere, we put up the rods and went to hand lines. At 9:45 I called for a break as I was the one taking the fish off the hook and rebaiting. Started again after several beers and we finally quit at about 11:00. No place to put more fish. Not kidding, everything was full of fish, I even empted the beer from the cooler and used it for the fish. On the way in, my friend from the Republic of Panama was sitting there and chopping of the heads of the fish, luckly for me I saw what he was doing and stopped him since the fish market won't take a fish withour the head. The bottom line is he took home about 100 pounds of fish, we took enough for about the same ampunt of fillets and the fish market gave me $245. Nice trip and I wanted to return but they were not interested. One we won't forget.
