my buddy Kevin M on the Excel 16 day Pelagic trip. today he joined the Cow Club with a 221# fish. they return in a week and to say he is stoked doesn't even begin to describe it.

good job buddy!

Fairly skinny fish - Looks like it could carry another 50 lbs with no problem!

What did you use for a fillet knife? A chainsaw.

MMM!! Thats some really choice fish. I'll take mine rare, seared on both sides.:yes:

Looks like 2 to 3X more than you'll ever eat and two years from now when you find some of it at the bottom of the freezer even the dog won't eat it.

keep in mind these fish were shared among at least 15 people. i ONLY got about 15#'s of filets for my efforts. not that i'm complaining!:light:

Lots of good eats right there. Should of canned some!

Wahoo on a bed of polenta with red peppers, mushrooms and basil from the garden. Kale and shredded broccoli and brussel sprout salad.



oh, and Buttons! my first time to Oahu (winter 1983) i was out surfing Pupukea and the wave of my trip came right to me. i was stoked and paddled right into it when about 20 feet down the line i look up and Buttons looks me square in the eye and sez, "going right brah!" i pulled back and he went. i've always had a special place in my heart for the guy who burned me on the wave of the trip!

RIP, brah!

Trigger tacos for us tonight!

Just the response (defensive denial) I expected from irresponsible "over"fisherpeople. No matter how you try to paint it it's excessive to a fault.
