We left Big Sand Cay with glum faces. Then my Mom spots a whale that lifted my spirits enough that I put my fishing rods out. In about one hour, we see lots of birds and splashes. I was getting really excited by now. Then I see this fish jump out of the water. It was a yellowfin tuna. After I saw the tuna I said to my dad its a school of tuna. Then my yoyo went off so I grab it and started pulling it in. I was super excited because I hadn't caught a fish for awhile.
I'm reeling it in and I see the tuna and it is surfing a wave and he gets off. When he got off I wanted to scream so I kind of did. But no matter, in two hours, one of my rods go off and then the other. We all know immediately that they were mahi mahi because one of them jumped five times fully out of the water. One of the mahi mahi turned a magnificent blue and the other one was a really pretty green. We kept the green one becasue the blue one was too big.
I was fine with that.
Hey Teigan: That's an interesting looking fish your mahi mahi, do they change colour when they come out of the water? sorry you missed out on the Tuna.

Okay, so now I'm jealous Tiegan... it's been a long time since I caught any of those southern warm water species. Nice going!
ReplyDeletePost some pictures of a tuna when you get one... they are the coolest of all the fish.
