The weather was looking good for a day on the water so we decided to take the Red Sea boat out for another day of breaking in the motors. You need to go slow when breaking in the motors and trolling seemed like the best option, but if we didn't catch anything I brought my dive gear as plan b. We drove far and found a nice pile of birds and we put in our favorite Gaji lures and bam! Starboard rigger goes off! I quickly clear the lines while Kekoa grabs the pole and Crow mans the wheel. Its a good fight and I grab the gaff while the fish slowly comes up.
We see color and the fish is hooked by the trailer hook on the top of the head? What? Yup! Kekoa keeps the lines tight and we get it in the boat:) It was Kekoas first Ahi and we were just talking about it last week of how he wanted to catch one. My dad has worked long and hard on the boat and it was good for him to actually see all his work paying off with fresh fish!
Thanks guys for a fun day on the water! This was our first real catch on the Red Sea boat and as the phrase goes..."Better to be lucky than good!" Pretty soon Red Sea charters will be open for business! Ha Ha!
