In Bali for a week of R&R with the family. Got a kitchen pass for a morning and went out with a guy I've been fishing with for over 10 years. He works hard and seems to always find fish. Today was no exception - we got up on the troll right out from clearing the fringing reef which is unusual but then I saw why - there were some 6-8 foot swells so guess we weren't going to be going too fast anyway. We didn't have much luck except for one little tunny which we rigged for marlin - no luck with that and was about to chalk up a nice morning on the water when my pole got knocked down and line screaming. A nice mahi-mahi who put on a wonderful aerial display and some great runs. He finally succumbed to the gaff and we asked the hotel chef to make us fresh grilled Mahi for dinner.
