Triple Hookup Leads to 9 Dorado

We were out for an 8hours fishing. After 45 minutes out we hit in a school of skipjacks. The lines started singing. We caught skipjacks one after the other. After catching some the school dived down. We saw another school further out. We caught 2 more skipjacks that we used as live bait. Now the waiting game started...We trolled at 2 knots along the ridge ....we had a long wait..later in the afternoon while bringing one of the skipjacks to the boat to check if it was ok...we could note that one of them looked a bit nervous...we put the skipjack back to the right distance...their was two powerful pull on the outrigger then nothing....we immédiatement bring the line back to see that the dacron line was cut...it was a shark.. we continued trolling with the second live bait...few minutes later bang...the line went off the out rigger....we released the brake to give the opportunity for the fish to swallow the live bait....after few seconds it was time to jook the fish. We accelerated both engines and applied the brake on the 130 penn international reel....the fish took about 300 meters of the out....after a good fight a hammerhead shark of 225....250 pounds was released safely. We came back with 9 skipjacks and a shark released.

We started at 7a.m . Once out we started fishing. Not long after..we hooked a good size wahoo on the long corner line. After a nice fight a beautiful 54 pounds wahoo was caught. Later on we hooked few skipjacks and caught 2 that we used as live bait for marlins. Unfortunately no marlin caught today .We were back to shore with a splendid wahoo and some skipjacks.

Back with a splendid female dorado. There first fish caught in Mauritius.
