trphyhntr Report post Posted May 11, 2016 fished 2 whole days, 2 half days. caught a lot fish and lost quite few too so the action was good. we went offshore and inshore. small tunas, some sierra, a couple jacks, dorado, wahoo, a bunch of other random fish too. i like to go on pangas because you get to do more fishing yourself, i hate just getting a rod handed off to me. we were going to release the marlin but the captain wanted to keep it for mothers day ceviche he said. i wasnt mad, i got half of it smoked. brought back a lot of fillets from the other fish too which was the goal of the trip. oh i forgot to mention we snagged a 7 foot wide manta with a rapala and it took off like bullet. thought we had the worlds biggest wahoo. was the hardest fight of my life i think lol. 13 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SunDevil Report post Posted May 11, 2016 Wahoo, ahi and Alaskan halibut are my favorite fish to eat. You got two out of the three. Nice job. Sierras are great the same day you catch them. They taste like fresh water trout to me. Are jack crevel any good to eat? No roosters? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah I made the Sierra into ceviche last night and ate some raw and it was great. idk the toro is any good or not, I threw one back and the captain was like "what the heck man?" So I kept the next one and I gave it to the captain. He said he loves them and makes machaca with them. They have red meat, you probably knew that. Nope no roosters this time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
