Shoreline Mahimahi off the rocks

[Nathan Tsao]

Big Bull Mahi landed from right behind my workplace yesterday afternoon. Lucky we live Hawai'i !!!!!!
It hit a 3.5oz Blurple SuperStrike Popper at about 110m cast with a Lamiglas 1322L blank and Van Staal 275 reel.
Awesome fight, cartwheeling out of the water and making good runs. Fortunately my friend had a gaff; it was hard to land the fish in the heavy surge pounding on the rocks.

one word."WOW".jeez i wish i could be there.There is nothing better than chasing big pelagic species of the rock.It is more rewarding 1 fish against 100 fish of the boat.I am stoked.brillant.

Its a real possibility at present Andrew as a friend caught 2 at around 8kg each yesterday in about 50 meters of water off sydney heads.

Something like that off the rocks would make my year....  all Im getting are bonnies at the moment.. , and not many of them either.

Awesome fish landbased!

Very nice Nathan and well done.  About 15 kgs?  I have had a few land-based Mahimahi but only little 3-5 kg jobs.
