Another Big Mahi Mahi Caught While Cruising
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. http://img293.imageshack.us/img293/4...iwestofpue.jpg http://img175.imageshack.us/img175/4...iwestofpue.jpg |

We have sort of an informal policy where we don't fish unless we need more, so I'd like to see it get eaten up soon. This area between Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, and the Turks and Caicos has really excellent fishing. |

This area between Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, and the Turks and Caicos has really excellent fishing. How many will it feed? Just wondering... seems like you could seat quite a few. You get about 10 to 12 pounds of solid, usable fillets from a 35 pound fish, probably a little more if you are really good (which I'm not). We got about 12 big servings from a 40 pounder back in January, with a little left over. |

m... Skip, lusting after Mahi, but striking out on all but Barracuda lately Get one, Skip. Good fish... -- Richard Lamb Hi, Richard, I know about Mahi being good fish (presume that's what you meant). We've been fortunate to catch quite a few - including a 44" one last year, and, in one hour period, also last year, three in a row (much smaller) - but none recently. If you mean the Barracuda, we do keep and relish the 30" ones. Like them better than Mahi, in fact.

Thanks. We had some for dinner tonight, really delicious. Any Tuna yet? Unfortunately not, at least not in the boat, or where we could identify them. We had a couple of big hits several months ago, one that spooled me totally out before I could get it under control, and another that broke off a 100 lb leader like it was a rubber band. Who knows what they were but obviously big stuff. We were docked in St Kitts a couple of weeks ago when a local boat brought in an 8 ft Tiger shark, and there are definitely some big tuna and marlin out there. We are really not rigged out to handle the big ones however, and it would just be luck coupled with a quandry if we got one to the boat. Quandry, as in what the heck do we do with this thing now. :-) Joe |

L8R Skip, lusting after Mahi, but striking out on all but Barracuda lately I guess it has more to do with how many fish you are cleaning. In our last outing, our group of six caught and cleaned over 150 snapper, grouper, kings, dolphin, and a wahoo. The electric knife won with about 6-1 over the standard filet knife and the yield was better but we were under a time constraint with all of those fish so the guy with the filet knife was getting sloppy. I guess it's a matter of technique but you could almost see through the fillets cut with the electric knife. |

I could see how, if you were slicing multiple thicknesses from a single slab it would go faster... L8R Skip Only six pigs would pull and keep 150 fish out of the ocean. That's 25 fish each. Oink, oink, oink. It was a three day charter, know-it-all. We could have kept twice that many. Maybe my bubble butt buddy Harry doesn't realize that fish freezes very well and there would be no difference in catching 150 fish in three days as opposed to catching, say, 25 per week per person...... |

L8R Skip, lusting after Mahi, but striking out on all but Barracuda lately I guess it has more to do with how many fish you are cleaning. In our last outing, our group of six caught and cleaned over 150 snapper, grouper, kings, dolphin, and a wahoo. The electric knife won with about 6-1 over the standard filet knife and the yield was better but we were under a time constraint with all of those fish so the guy with the filet knife was getting sloppy. I guess it's a matter of technique but you could almost see through the fillets cut with the electric knife. Ah... My filets aren't designed to be multi-cut. Just get it off the fish.

Good fish... -- Richard Lamb Hi, Richard, I know about Mahi being good fish (presume that's what you meant). We've been fortunate to catch quite a few - including a 44" one last year, and, in one hour period, also last year, three in a row (much smaller) - but none recently. If you mean the Barracuda, we do keep and relish the30" ones. Like them better than Mahi, in fact. L8R Skip I've heard barracuda were excellent to eat but I know even the smaller fish have a chance of carrying the ciguatera (sp?) disease. I believe that is not limited to barracuda and any carnivorous fish can carry it. Cheers, According to Wikipedia, the carnivorous fish carry it as a result of eating herbivorous fish. URL:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ciguatera interesting reading, and has put me of carnivorous fish! Justin. -- Justin C, by the sea. |

Capt. Bill 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. |
