We enjoyed the most incredibly calm, flat seas with Mike and Michael the other morning, searching farther and wider than we ever have before to find fish. Early in the morning, Mike landed this cute mahi nugget, and despite all our efforts, that was the only fish in the ocean that day. Now some of you may think “they should have thrown it back!” And there are several reasons why we did not… first, this fish swallowed a whole bait and the hook was set way down in its gut, so removing the hook without fatally wounding the mahi was not possible. Secondly, once filleted, there was enough meat to feed Mike, Michael and the whole family! Mahi are the FASTEST growing pelagic species, growing 1-1.5 inches in a week, and breeding by three months of age. So we consider this a win for the day- we landed a fish, fed a family, and enjoyed good company on our charter! We look forward to fishing with these guys again soon!
