First timers Grampa, Son in law, and Grandson.
Capt. Dillan & First Mate Chalem cheerfully arrived promptly at 7:45am with boat, bait & gear ready to go. He explained our strategy as we were motoring out to open water where tackle was rigged and trolling commenced. First reel screamed at 8:40am as the line unwound faster than speeding bullet. The fight was on! Grandson was first up on the crank as Capt. Dillan barked constructive encouragement and Chalem was clearing the deck in anticipation of successfully landing whatever was on the end of our line. Although he is a strong lad, Grandson’s arm was spent
and our fish was still in command. Son in law then jumped in the crank seat with fresh muscle and started to tire the fish and gain some line, but he too, could not overcome the opposing force under the sea. Finally, when the fish was tired & reaching the end of his rope, Grampa took the hot seat for the final approach. After a few spectacular leaps out of the water, Capt. Dillan hauled in the catch with his gaff hook. A 40lb+ Wahoo! Chalem subdued the thrashing mouthful of teeth with his bat and our prize was immediately packed in at the ready ice chest. While our adrenaline was still pumping and high 5’s were still slapping, Capt. Dillan & Chalem were preparing the rigs for the next opportunity. When we returned to the docks, Capt. Dillan filleted & cleaned a large tail section for us and our evening dinner was grilled Wahoo with rice, beans, Family and great stories!
We highly recommend Seablu Charters with Capt. Dillan & First Mate Chalem. Ya
