Caught a bull mahi-mahi over a hundred pounds about forty nautical miles south of Honolulu sailing for the Marshalls in twenty foot open ocean swells on a gaff-rigged schooner.
Thing was a majestic beast.

There is a secure garage at work, I've worked out where I can get out of the water and would have wheels to drag it to work.
And fishing, Steve. Did you miss that bit? People are catching metre-plus barra and threadfin and jacks up to 5kg

Depends what it was and where and when I caught it.
Most of the big species are migratory, and the floods removed a lot of the industrial pollution.

The north end of the GC had some great waves this morning and the banks are fine.Even had a paddle yesterday afternoon on my own in some onshore 3-4 ft where the odd one held up.
Let me know if you want me to broadcast the coordinates Don.
