Nice too see you had such a great trip. Don't fish for them but love love eating them. Cook grilled with white and black sesame seeds and not for long. Serve with dipping sause.

All I can say is , 10 tuna, 1 keeper sword, 8 mahi and 1 tile!!!! Holy crap that is a great trip. Funny thing is I brought a swordfish rod with 200lb leader etc and what do I catch my first sword on??, a 50lb flouro leader and a 6/0 owner hook on a med weight rod who woulda thunk it!!! Nice trip great crew and a great yes great bunch of anglers. i caught 8 of the tuna on the bait and jigged 2 fish and probably could have jigged 10 more but I was wiped out !!! We hooked and caught 12 tuna in 30 minutes with no fish lost , I call that team work at its finest!!!! till next year, I am in , lets set the date asap!!! the 2 day format worked great.
