Beautiful day out there though.

Hey Kirk, I met you on the sand this morning I saw about five Mola Mola this morning. What you saw there is a mola mola. Bait was nonexistent today That's one reason fishing was slow.

While we're on the topic, can someone help me with this one? Is it a mushroom? Primitive organism?

Mola. Clearly.

Back in my previous life when I was a skiff guy, we'd be out trolling looking for marlin. Anything out of the ordinary required a detour and look. I've run up on hundreds of molas over the years flopping their goofy dorsal fin back and forth. It was always disappointed that it wasn't a marlin or sword, but molas are just so outer space looking and friendly, that you gotta stop and watch.

Many would slowly move off, but every once in a while a mola would act like a puppy and swim up the boat and eyeball us. Even to this day when I see a mola I think "WTF?" And they eat jellyfish! How weird is that?
