Note: although the materials have changes somewhat and they
use more powerful engines the design is the same.
The first pic below is me holding my Godson,Maui, and Hubert(my now ex).
This day he had gone out on his Poti Marara and caught 6 Mahi Mahi and was on his
in when he hooked up to this monster....a 900lb Marlin Remember
he is on a 16 foot boat and no fighting chair, and alone.
and already exhausted from catching the Mahi.
Oh my I'm getting ahead of myself here, To catching these Mahi,
You would watch for birds.. took me years just to find the birds..
there will be only 1 or 2. Mahi will surface to feed. Once we spotted the
mahi ..all hell broke loose. Hubert would throw the boat in full throttle
and we'd chase the mahi sometimes doing 360's , until it was tired.
Hubert would then throw the boat into neutral, spear the mahi and throw it in the boat.
Now thats fishing!!!
My brother went fishing with him once and called it Tahitian Rodeo!
