That is a nice pic of that Dorado. It is hard to get those colors to show.
Looks like a nice day on the water. |

Thanks. It's key to take the photo within the first minutes on board for the best colors. Note the firm grip on the tail -- That fish was trying to flop while the still photo was taken from video. Mahis are especially challenging on a kayak as they often go berserk and can easily flop out of the yak. I even saw a video where one flopped out of a fish bag back into the water and gone!

That is so cool! Can't believe you get mahi from the kayak. And the tuna too, man...

Thanks, Mahis are always a surprise chance catch anytime there is an East wind to blow the weed lines in. The large Blackfins this late in the year are kind of a fluke. They are usually a May/June run for the big ones. Caught this one last weekend out of Dania on a Yozuri Crystal Minnow.
