I'm not sure anything hunts the Mahi Mahi, might have been a tuna

Have a picture on-line? I'd like to see it. How big? What kinds of
lures? Speed?


The ones that we caught souuth of the Keys were mid-size females about
36 inches long and maybe 10 pounds or so. Small compared to the ones
we were catching last year down in the islands. We caught a couple
more closer to Miami that were even smaller, less than 8 lbs by my
estimate, but very delicious.

All but one were caught on pink and white Rattlejet lures while
trolling at about 8 knots. The Rattlejets are far and away the most
effective lure I've ever used, definitely a fish magnet.
Unfortunately barracuda like them also.
