WOWIE MAHI MAHI WOWIE

We left the Exuma Park by heading out in the big water (ocean!). After we had left the no fishing zone, two lines went into the water.Less than 1 hour later Paul is down getting a drink and pow! Yells to Dave up in the flybridge to sloooooow down, we have a fish. HOW MANY PEOPLE DOES IT TAKE TO CATCH A MAHI MAHI (well on our boat Time Out) ? I laughed as it took all four of us working as a team to bring in a 10lb Mahi Mahi. Dave was the driver, Traci is the one with the gaff in her hand, Paul is the one reeling the line slowly in. And my job... very important, the photographer! Traci helped reel in sometimes when that Mahi Mahi was tiring out Paul's arm.

Look at those colours!
As soon as Mahi Mahi is out of the water, it loses many of it's colours.

Wowie!

It took about 30 minutes to reel the fish in. Very hard work. We did not take it out of the fish holder mounted on the back railing. Dave and Paul, very proud!

Let's get started for the filleting. We are eating Mahi Mahi steaks tonight.... with butter! Bring on the good stuff. Yummy!

This is just one of many "mega-yachts" we passed. We just found out that Johnny Depp just got married and it so happens he has an island here nearby.... Hall's Pond. Reception for the wedding is happening this weekend so maybe all these yachts are owned by "stars". Notice the helicopter up top. A whole other world with crew members.
