The first fishing trip

Micronesia is a fishing mecca and it didn't take too long to get out amongst it. The first week on island was Scott's handover period at work so he had to wait until the second week. The weather isn't the best at this time of year but he picked the best day and made the most of it.
Trolling for a big one.

The unluckiest skipjack tuna in the world. This one was hook on one line. Then tangled up the second line that was out the back of the boat. It managed to get off the hook only to tangle itself up in the two lines. You don't even need hooks to catch fish here.

Micronesia is a third world country no doubt about it. So all the fish are kept. We take what we want and give the rest to our boat driver, gardeners and cleaners to take home to their families. Our catch for the day was one dolphin fish, a rainbow runner, a wahoo, ten skipjack tuna and a 35kg ish shark.

A toothy critter that hit a little lure designed for tuna.
