Weather, covid and home improvement projects have curtailed my normal summer offshore trips, but we did make it out a few weeks ago and did nicely- a triple on mahi in first ten minutes, chunked up a yellowfin on a spinning rod (a blast!) and assorted other goodies, plus biggest trigger I have seen.
Mods, please spin them.

If we click on them they rotate.
Glad somebody was out & had some luck. Hard to get away anywheres, and local trips for me have shown the fish are staying home too and avoiding contact.

Cool! A mixed bag a fun and good eats! Never seen a Triggerfish that big.
Nice job ! Great fish and yes that trigger is huge !! We have caught them in Mexico but nothing on that scale.

Great catch !!
Those triggers are good eating. Nice work John. Dominick
Good going John. If that's the spinner behind you in the photo then, yeah, the tuna must have been a lot of fun.

Good fishin' John! This year has been tough...I've been held back too...like so many of us.
That's an Accurate twin spin, but I used my trusty 9500SS, stock, on a Trevala jigging rod, 80lb PP and fluoro leader free-lining a ballyhoo chunk on a Gami 7/0 octopus (prolly my fav hook for about anything not trolling). For context, I was about 260 then, and the trigger basically covered my torso. 150ft water off Carolina Beach.
great mix compadre, considering your size, that trigger should be huge!!
nice bag for sashimi and ceviche
Very nice fish,,,,, ;) and I'm glad to you out on the water,,,,,,,, ;D
Very nice work
Yes Alex- I meant to mention- trigger went straight to ceviche and was amazing! after you have to use a Sawzall to filet it lol
Thanks John, love them mahi, great size to, cheers Don.
Well done!

thats the only way I eat triggers, ceviche.
plenty of more fish are better for butter and garlic fillets or fish tacos
one I caught a triggerfish I say, one ceviche.. another ceviche, nice, 3 ceviches ;D ;D

Spun the photos upright, John --
That happens to me sometimes when I take photos with my iPhone -- the orientation doesn't load the way I want.
Nice report!
Best, Fred
