That thing is HUGE! I had to add this to my collection of the best Bahamas fishing videos on facebook - facebook [dot] com /pages/Xtreme-Bahamas-Fishing/276144875779766 if you want to take a look. I hope it gets some more views - the color changes are amazing!
@Doctorchris100 That is a Mahi-Mahi, which is Hawain for "very strong". They are also known as a dolphin fish, lampuga, lampuka, rakingo, calitos, maverikos, or dorado. The Latin name is Coryphaena hippurus. All the fish in the video are Mahi-Mahi, except for the Atlantic bonito at 3:57.
nice day of fishing, beautiful fish..Only thing I don't understand is why you didn't kill them before throwing them in a bucket... suffecate with a hole in your head, isn't the nicest way to die.. fish do have nerves...( I'm totally not against fishing though). except from fishing the oceans empty, as we are doing now... And that's not good news for sport fisherman...
@siesss I guess we were just too busy catching fish to worry about it. Dorado swim in schools, so when you land one, you are in a hurry to get back in the water ASAP. Also we were with a professional guide and following his lead. However, those aren't good excuses and you make a good point. Since that trip I have made more of an effort to humanely dispatch my prey.
@siesss As for fishing the oceans empty, I am very worried about that too and I would support banning all netting and long lining. If everybody fished with a rod and reel I don't think our oceans would be in peril. Fish would be way more expensive, but I only eat what I catch anyway so that’s fine with me.
@Canesnumber1stunner ive had a good day like tht jus went out today off jacksonville and caught a 34 pound cobia, and a couple 10 pound plus gag grouper. but goin to keys in a month
I agree with yellowfin84. That fish is less than 30 lbs for sure. And that's a skipjack tuna not a blackfin. Skipjacks are edible too but they are certainly not a blackfin.
Regardless you had a great day over there and caught some really respectable fish. Cheers.
@nickv6909 Agreed it most definitely was not a Blackfin tuna. That was wishful thinking on my part! You are correct. That is a Skipjack, A.K.A. Artic Bonito at 3:50. The meat looked just as deep red and appetizing as a Bluefin, but it certainly did not taste very good in our opinions. We ended up using it for bait.
Awesome vid man! Seems like they were goin crazy out there! Im about to move to Andros Island Bahamas for work and im bringin my boat so this video is making me anxious!
It gets really good at about 6 mins where a big triple goes down on 35-40lb Mahi. They tasted great battered and fried with a little wasabi-mayo dippin sauce! We gave away half the fish to locals at the dock who hung around like vultures while the fish was being cleaned. We ate like kings and took the rest home to share with friends and family. Tragically, Delta Air lost the cooler with about 20lbs of fish in it. The cooler showed up at my house 4 days later spoiled. What a waste
@Neversat, YOU, have a really good attitude, I appreciate that. YOu must be really smart.
:) Thank you for sharing your video.
