Trolling Inshore Mahi

Fished yesterday with Mike, Ed, and Dean in the ocean for mahi. We trolled up two mahi up to 15 pounds. In addition, we had several nice false albacore. The highlight of the trip was hooking a large wahoo right next to the boat and we watched him eat. Mike fought the fish for over two hours but we were never able to get him into gaff range. He eventually wore through the leader and broke off. If you look closely in the last picture you will see the wahoo. You can't tell in the picture but it was between five and six feet long. Pro Tip: After hooking up on the troll, be prepared. You never know when other fish will pop up. We hooked the wahoo yesterday right next to the boat while fighting another fish.
