If those are what I think they are, I wouldn't be publishing a photo
of them.
What do you think they are?
Baby blue fin.

Then again, maybe not.

In either case, it's quite bothersome to see that kind of "catch".

The pertoral fins are too long for those to be Bluefins, their
probably Longfin Albacore. And their really small ones. I don't thing
we've ever kept one under 30 pounds, probably more like 40 pounds.
Those look like their all well under 10 pounds.

Heheheh.

The point of the photo was not the fish.

What was the point, that the guy in the boat knew how to fish? Or that
the kind of boat allowed you to catch more fish? If it is the later,
that would make for one hell of a marketing campaign.

Actually the big diesel boats fish tuna better. They can carry mor scoops
of livebait and the tuna seem to be attracted by the vibrations of the
bigger boats.

Bottle nosed dolphin certainly are. Our trawler is a veritable
dolphin magnet. We can sometimes see them coming from hundreds of
yards away.

That's because they are doing three times your speed. :-)

I was going to mention they were attracted by the smell of ripe fish,
but I didn't want to start anything. :}

Yabut, I know what he's saying. I remember well the sight of dophins
playing ahead and alongside the bow when we traveled south on the Navigator.
There's something very special about them .... I think they know us.

Ever been 74 miles offshore in the Atlantic in a 21' fishing boat, Reggie?

No, it really sounds like a stupid idea. It makes me think about the
line from the movie Jaws "I think we need a bigger boat". I have made
the run from Miami to Bimini, but it was much bigger than a 21' fishing
boat.
