+ 1 on what Alan said.....take lots of pictures...If you can. I know how it goes during the thick of things. The camera operating hands are busy with the fishing business.

Tight lines and best fishes,
Steve

Well, I made it back in one piece!    A little the worse for wear, though... Sunday started out okay, with a great yellowtail bite, but then gradually turned downright brutal,with high squirrely seas and 25-knot winds making the fishing pretty energy-draining, at least for an older gal like me. At one point I was on the starboard rail when we took a steep roll and I found myself in green water up to my thighs... yuck! As if that wasn't enough, I hooked my biggest yellowtail of the trip and a sea dog swam up and stole it... Son of a b**ch!! 

Fortunately the ocean settled down overnight and by Monday we had a large swell but no whitecaps and little wind. We spent the morning looking for kelps with no luck, then another boat called us in to a school of mahi-mahi and we got into a full-on dodo frenzy... epic! I limited out quickly, as did everyone else, and so the trip concluded on the highest possible note. Here's one of my fish:

You are one tough chick! I was reading the reports on the link that Dominick posted. Glad to see you hung in there and made the best of it. 
Enjoy the mahi and yellowtail... I smell the fish tacos from here.
Welcome back safely,
Dom

Glad you survived the rough weather and ended up with some meat to take home.

I'm glad you're back safe Aiala, sorry about that yellowtail, I probably would have shot him .
That is one nice picture, I believe even good enough for photo of the month.
Nice to have you back.

Sounds like a good trip, Aiala --

When you get a chance, tell us about the boat, the Skipper and crew, the food, the gear you were using -- all the details.

Thanks for sharing.

Best,

Fred

NICE!  +1 on what Dom said ...mahi tacos....yum yum!

[Dominick]

I agree with Sal. Photo of the month.  I love it.  Leave to a woman to wear jewelry a watch and hold a fish for the cameraman.  You're the best Aiala.  Dominick

I noticed that and thought something similar.
