It's my birthday! My parents are in town and I take my Mom and Dad offshore trolling. Fishing the Islamorada humps was a fun day where we catch mahi and tuna and end with a yummy catch n cook.

In this video:
Dan from youtube channel 'Florida Fishing Couple' joins us on this fishing trip at the Islamorada humps. Also Chris tags along with big dreams of catching mahi and tuna. Blackfin tuna to be specific, not bonito!
I have tuna tacos on my mind for this catch and cook. We run offshore to the islamorada humps and begin to troll a variety of lures as you will see in the video. The tuna really loved the feathers we were trolling. We also caught some tuna on some little dive plugs from YoZuri and Rapala.
While trolling we find a bird offshore. The find bird offshore lands on my head and the bird goes fishing with us. We even feed the offshore bird water! Ok bird help us find the mahi mahi and show us how to catch fish!
I think this offshore bird might be a new south florida fishing channel subscriber. We started this trip in Key Largo btw, ran out of tavernier creek, after getting gas at the tavernier creek marina. Then we start fishing the islamorada humps.
It's not long before we start catching bonito, and then soon after we catch black fin tuna. My parents had a blast and so did I. It was a great birthday party fishing trip. The next day we clean our blackfin tuna. Dan took home the mahi mahi since I already had some mahi mahi waiting in the fridge for me.
We go to nest key, the sandbar the next day and have some fun in the sun. Do some wakeskating and then my parents leave back home. I make some blackfin tuna tacos and they tasted great! Tuna is always great for catch n cook videos. I love how you can catch and cook it raw or cooked.
