Hundred Pound Mahi, No Fighting Chair Required

Chip July 10, 2009 Fishing

Not all fish are caught from million-dollar yachts!  These good ol’ boys aboard a tugboat traveling offshore from Cape Canaveral, Florida to South Carolina in early June passed the time by dragging a line.  Traveling at nine knots, conditions were perfect for this huge dolphin to strike.

The crew estimated it to weigh in the neighborhood of one hundred pounds, making it a potential record.  Apparently tugboats don’t come with fishboxes so the trophy catch was fileted and never weighed.

More photos after the jump.
