To sum it up, we pretty much hammered the fish!

Started out jacking with several big blacktips eating chum. Got hooks in of them and lost both battles and about that time the blackfin showed up. We caught a few before they left.




Found some debris and decided to take a look at it, dropped a jig and bam, gone. Something cut it off fast. Dropped the only rod in the boat with a kingfish rig and bam, came off, bam, hooked up! This is a rod I had Savage build for my 6yr old! It has a small pink, left handed avet sx on it with 20lb mono. After about 20 minutes of tug-o-war my dad and daughter landed a very nice wahoo!





Says a lot about the rod in my opinion.

Went to check some other spots and caught a nice keeper AJ.



Next we tried for grouper and had a nice one jigged up until the biggest mako any of us has ever seen charged him and bit him in half! Then stayed at the transom trying to eat him and the boat until we tossed a bit with a cable attached. He hit it but never ate it. Mako was 10-11' easy, had to be in the 350-400lb range no problem although I am not a mko expert.



At the end of the day we caught blackfin, grouper, amberjack,jack crevelle, african pompano (yes another one small though), kingfish, spanis mackerel, wahoo and only 1 snapper! We also had hooks in 2 great big blacktips but, never got the job done and an encounter with an amazing mako.
