VJ finishes the job I started.






The Wahoo fish resist at first, and then give up. You just have to reel-up dead weight (which can be exhausting depending on the size of the Wahoo).

Tuna fight you every inch of the way.

Either way you can't rest, because if you do, the sharks will eat half of your fish by the time you get it on board.

The Filipino skippers and deck hands have done this a million times, and they are always very gracious to help out the recreational fisherman.

The cleaning is free, except for a tip, which is well deserved. The heads of the fish, and other body parts, are discarded by those who catch them. Later they are made into some kick-ass dishes in town where the Filipino workers live..

The Westerners just want the fillets.
