Aloha went offshore and had a great day getting ahi. this is a 20lber on a popper.



50 lber on a popper



80lber on chunk bait. The other fish took a while on my spin rod, so my arms were sore. Fought another 50lber but the hook pulled under the boat. I put out the chunk and told Eric it was his turn. When this one hit I gave him the rod. He fought it for 30 minutes, but his wrist was sore, so I took over. Fought it for another 20 minutes and it came to the surface. We saw a green shadow in the chop and thought it was a shark. I was pissed cause I have spent too much time and energy lately fighting sharks, so I buttoned down the drag and put the wood to it. fish swam up to the boat, and I tell Eric to get ready and cut the line, and Eric says, Hey bra, it's one ahi not a shark. I am like whoa shit, back the drag off and he gaffs it. Lesson learned, never cut the line until you see the fish!



Lots of nice sashimi. Would have been a great day to get one on the fly, but boy are my arms tired from using small game tackle
