I need a bumper sticker made up saying "I LOVE bonito strips"



With a six rod spread (four surface, two planers) it was hectic in the cockpit to say the least. As we were fighting the fish, we get another on. Now we have a double on & four other lines still out. In addition to fighting each of our fish, my dad & I took turns running the boat, clearing lines, and finally gaffing the fish.

First fish comes up, a nice cow gets tossed in the box.



Get a few good jumps & its a tug of war with the bull. We close the gap with boat & get the gaff shot.



See you on the edge . . .
That is one nice looking strip!
