Dolphin and Wahoo Offshore Sebastian
Decided to head out even though noaa had 3-4ft seas posted…how wrong they were. We went to bethel to pick up a few baits in case it was too slow trolling. Found a nice weedline and rip in 100ft and worked it south picking up an 18lb bull right a way. As soon as we got lines back out another real nice phin was on the line and made his way to the ice. As we were putting lines back out still working the same weedline, a small bonita hit and as we were working him to the boat, the port rigger pops and starts screaming. A couple nice runs and were thinking Wahoo and also remembering this was the only mono rig we had out in the spread. As we get him closer to the boat and see color we start to think its a sailfish and we put the gaff back in the holder. But as soon as he gets boat side we see the stripes. There was another wahoo right next to it making it look like a sail. Find the gaff again and stick all 40lbs of him and throw him on ice. We continued to work the weedline and picked up another 25lb phin. We have 4 nice fish and its 230 so we make our way in.
