Fabulous FijiWe had been at sea for about 3 days when we landed this beauty. Just as he took the lure, it was at a most inconvenient time; the wind had picked up and Dois was quite busy tucking a reef in the main and then the genoa so I needed to keep the color-flashing pelagic busy. I couldn't bring him to the boat too soon because I needed Dois to help me gaff our dinner. As soon as Dois got the boat under control, he expertly gaffed him and brought him on board. All in a days work. What we did not know at that time was that the wind would continue to build over the next 3 days. The seas would grow steep and close and we would crash along in a most uncomfortable manner (albeit while gorging on delicious mahi) until we sailed into the lee of the islands of Fiji.
