Welcome aboard as we head offshore on The Falcon in search of the wiley~swordfish we run into an unexpected surprise, a giant school of Mahi with a Wahoo hanging around in the weeds. Fellow Captain Todd ran across a log and a huge school of Mahi. He rang us up on the VHF and we both proceeded to catch a nice limit of Mahi. Grab your life jackets and hang on, and welcome aboard.

Throw the little ones back, this fishery has been hammered, this time of year 20 years ago every fish I caught was a gaffer. Now most are peanuts

Would love to see that again, why do you suppose that is?

@hansgruber2509 2 ай бұрын

@@marathonsportfishing Well too many people chasing a limited resource. Dolphin and tuna are highly migratory so the commercial guys in Mexico and the Caribbean hammered them as they move north to the Carolina's in the gulf stream. If I was king I'd ban importation of highly migratory fish. By the time they get to us most are gone

It's just a thought but if you had more than 2 or 3 pound drag on your reel then your wife might get the chance to bring in a couple as well.

Awesome Mahi madness! That was an awesome school you have found! We are heading your way in a week and renting a boat in the next few days. Do you think a 23’ Mako CC w/ 175 HP 4-Stroke engine can handle the waves and the wind out there? We are planning to create lots of videos for our Canadian subscribers. Thank you so much for any advice and tips you can give. Tight lines!

10 fish for 2 people. Nice job. And we wonder why mahi fishery has declined. As a charter capt would hope for setting better example.

@marathonsportfishing 2 ай бұрын

Hey Bob, thanks for tuning in. The reason I kept 10 is because I have family that wanted some fish. Normally we keep just a few. I don't think the average angler is the reason for the decline. I'm guessing the heavy commercial fishery may have something to do with it.

@bobstevens7456 2 ай бұрын

Really appreciate your taking the time to reply. Shows your dedication and commitment to your channel. Just as a point of reference, the recreational take is 9,000,000 pounds and the commercial take is. 210,000 pounds according to the latest NOAA info. Just wanted to make the point that is important as recreational fishermen that we respect the resource. Continued good luck in your well done channel.

@hansgruber2509 2 ай бұрын

What is sad about the mahi fishery is the rec fishermen were the ones pushing to reduce the bag limits after the fishery collapsed. The know-nothing govmit officials that "manage" these fisheries are clueless buffoons. They let the cod fishery collapse due to over fishing and it has never recovered even after 20 years. Take what you need and stop with the I need to have the biggest body count at the dock. That will save the fishery

@marathonsportfishing 2 ай бұрын

Totally Agree. Typically we keep what we use and thats it.
