Mahi Massacre with videos

[JD7.62]

Went out yesterday with some friends to do some fishing. Our plan was to get out to some bluewater and troll for wahoo but after a few hours with only one hook up, a big bull dolphin that came unbuttoned, we decided to hit the schools of little dolphin with out smaller gear on the way back in. What they didnt have in size that made up for in quantity.

It was fun especially because of how tasty they are. I was using a Penn Battle 3000 on a Wright and McGill Blair Wiggins inshore rod with then pound test braid. A couple of them had the drag screaming and spent more time in the air then in the water it seemed like during the fight. I really wish I had my fly rod with me, that would have been fun.
