Shoreline Mahimahi off the rocks
January 29, 2012, 12:01:20 AM
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.

Also a 25-27lb GT from the exact spot two days earlier on the same lure

Awesome stuff alright, what sort of depth does it get to within casting distance from the rocks there?
Focus on the pop

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