Went offshore sunday with some friends and Kitt, my friends's on got this little, 120lbs blue marlin. It would have been a good one to catch on the fly. Too bad it hit the shotgun and they decided to take it. Right now I have some smoked marlin. Hope you all had a good weekend, Mems.

Way to go Don. Hopefully we'll see a few of those at Christmas Island only bigger :) Say, when does a papio become an omilu? No this isn't a trick question. I've seen Blue-fin Trevally in the 15lb.-20lb range. That one is the best eating size. I used to cook them with sour-sop when we had the condo at Keauhou.

Hey Tony, all the bluefinned are omilu. Papio are ulua when they get to 10bs. These are the bestsize, I skined and filletted both sides and friend it up crispy. I like the smaller ones whole pan fried as well. I skoked my share of the marlin in Korean BBQ sauce. it is pretty tasty. Hope you get a big ulua at CI. Don
