Got some nice GoPro video of fighting mahi's but during editing it crashed my video card drivers.......have to spend some time resetting and wasn't in the mood last night after 32hrs on the water!

Here's some pics. Got 10 mahi total, 3 were in the 16-18lb class. The mako was about 5'2", 125lb (est). Tail wrapped him but he still managed 3 GOOD runs before submitting to the gaffs/tail ropes. Great job by the team (Bryan/Dad) bringing this fish to the boat and into the boat safely.

Great trip.

Saw a nice large marlin jumping in the distance, must have flew 4-5 times.

Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.

62" fork, not 52" As far as Mako's go, it was reasonably according to plan. Gaff, gaff, rope, and bleed em!!

glad you had a good time Buzz. always disapointing with no YFT or BET or a real good haul of mahi, (the ones we did get were good size at least!)but the boat ran well and the weather mostly cooperated...

other than 1 report from Hydro (out of our range) and a commercial buddy WAY out of our range, the reports were VERY spotty between The Dip and Veatch (our grounds)... all in all not a bad trip...
