We caught this one on Sunday about 20 miles off the west coast of
Puerto Rico. * It was not quite as big as the one in January but still
very good sized and great eating. * Length was 54 inches, weight about
35 pounds. *It took almost 30 minutes to get him in the boat, a very
tough, feisty fish.

Which way are you headed Wayne, East or West?

North west actually. *We were going from Puerto Rico to the Dominican
Republic via the Mona Passage at the time we caught the fish. *We're
at Ocean World Marina just west of Puerto Plata at the moment after
spending a few days in Bahia de Samana.


I'm sure you know this but be careful in Ocean World. If it blows up
out of the N it can get a bad surge in there. I've know boats to pop
fenders and have to leave in the night.
