Wahoo on the Troll – Surprise 100lb Yell

After picking up a few mahi on live bait near a FAD (Fishing Aggregating Device), we headed back toward the harbor to drop off our guest. On the way in, we switched it up — fast trolling at 10 knots with lures. Suddenly, boom — hookup! A fat 100 lb yellowfin smashed the spread, and Mason was loving every second of the fight. A true trophy fish and a moment to remember.

We went offshore for just 30 minutes before running into a hungry pack of mahi. What followed was absolute chaos — nonstop action with double and triple hookups while trolling and chumming. In total, we landed 20 mahi. Pure madness, but we managed to get every single one in the boat!

Lines in and almost instantly—hook up! At first it looked like a mahi… but no, it turned out to be a good-sized sailfish! Total surprise and an awesome way to start the day. The guys were blown away by the size and speed. We went 2 for 3 on sails by the end — an unforgettable day! PS no beers before 7AM ;)
