I hear Bonito are particularly fun to catch, even at 2 pounds. Was that
Striped Marlin caught on a fly, btw? That looked like a *real* blast!

The charter was a gift celebrating the fact that I continue to
be on this side of the dirt, so I had no say in the fishing style...
We bounced a mackerel for hours in 95+ degree heat.. :-) and you are
right I think I would like to stick those benito with a fly on a six
wt, I mean they just slam the jig big time.......pretty fish as well

Ever hear of the hookless billfish lure? It's called a "Hurricane." It's
no more than the typical "squid clone" trolling lure, except that the skirt
is made of fine strands of nylon--like the stuff comprising soft nylon rope.
Because of the overlapping-plate construction of the fish's bill, like that
of a rhino, the fine strands are able to entangle the billfish when it comes
to strike the lure. From what I've heard, once the fish is brought
alongside the boat, it's no big deal to remove the lure. I don't know when
the Hurricane was invented, but I think I heard of it back in the mid-'80's.
It's like the perfect C&R lure for billfish--no blood let. Too bad there
isn't something as effective for trout fishing.
