Catch of the day [Fishing]

[Clint_D]

@SKT Yessir! Dorado, dophin, mahi....I never know the proper nomenclature when it comes to these fish.

I was able to take some filets with me at the end of the day. I pan fried them and it was incredible!

[SKT]

@Clint_D I’m envious! I got to fish for some in Puerto Vallarta years ago and it was some of the most enjoyable fishing I’ve ever done. You guys had a big day!

Village we are staying in:

Taking a bit of a break as we started at 4 am

The village’s haul for the day including some of our own fish.

[Giles]

It was a very tough week. The wind was from the west, which basically meant the bait fish get blown past our village, so the tuna are less prevalent.

Notwithstanding that, Dennis caught 3 over the week, which for a Tuna novice in the conditions was extremely good. He did better than some of the "old-timers".

I lost an enormous fish (I have caught a few large fish, so I know the feel of a big one when one is on, and this was way, way bigger than anything I have hooked), it totally dominated me,I never got in control of the fish/fight and was really just holding on the rod for the ride, after an initial run of perhaps 200 yards in 20/30 seconds, I was down to about 20 yards of line left on the spool, I had to dial up the drag a bit to save myself from getting spooled. The other guys were getting the boat ready for the chase/fight - Dennis's line being bought in, decks cleared. etc etc, and I was hanging on for dear life looking at the emptying spool muttering "I will never get this fish in, I will never get this fish in" then the fish bit through the 130lb leader. I have been reliving the chaos of that 60 seconds in my head ever since )

A few randoms...

Sunrise and a cheerful Goose...

Give it some gyp:

Both Goose and I straightened hooks on fish....

Szymon hard at work.....
