Nice pics and good size Mahi Mahi ! Seems like it would be difficult to fish off an aircraft carrier though? How does that work?

i was on a different ship takin the pic than the one wit the aircraft carrier... and i work on the supply ships that refuel and restock navy ships defend from pirates... so they have a lower fantail for the helo deck still about 15 feet off the water but we use parachute cord so they cant break the line pullin it in! :please: hopefully

what a great fighting fish too :) we only ever caught them "trolling" you guys can do that or you caught them just hanging a hook off the back?

we would get a well full of anchovies and spend a whole day out in the Coronado's trying to catch them and yellow tail... What a great site seeing one of them ripping across the water after your bait... :)

Loved the fishing, hated the hanging over the side of the boat "chumming" the water with my breakfast... :laugh: (would have been a lousy sailor :( )

Very nice pictures, I have to wonder...how often is the breeze calm enough out there to keep those hats on~?~ :laugh:

yeah we troll with poles or tie handlines at the back... they are good fighters even using 190 lb mono or the braided parachute line if u dont hold on they will pull and give u a nice little rope burn... we just use rubber squid lures or whatever we can create...:laugh: we've made a few Megyver inspired lures with a piece of a plastic bag some washers and whatever we could find... i wish we took pics of that.. and it worked 1 time only because it broke pullin in the first fish... :rofl:

most of the time... it is im out in the arabian gulf and persian gulf... or off the coast of africa(somalia)... some days its too calm with anywere from 110-140 in the summer standing out on a metal ship deck is not so appealing...

Hands weren't cold; just before the pic was snapped someone asked if anyone had any wooden nickels they could borrow :laugh:

Great Pics:thumbsup:, but couldn't be me out there with all of that water though
 
Awesome pics Courtney! The set from Diego Garcia are sweet.

And I can fully understand the two "main reasons for doin it"..... those are two sexy azz creations. :laugh: Do what you can to hold on to those :thumbsup:
