4 way hookup
Submitted by JohnF on Sat, 2012-02-25 17:23
Crazy 4 way hook-up on Bonito today with only me and Daz in the boat........lines going everywhere, got 3 in the boat, the 4th was dropped right a the edge of the boat. Pretty frantic time with trebbles flying about everywhere, crap picture but we were still rolling around laughing!
What is the fish exactly? I presume Watsons Leapin Bonito, any good to eat? Flesh is quite white and firm.

Had a double hook up on the ski last year trolling for mackies just north of staggies, unfortunately our gear was a bit overkill for them as they are great little fighters on the light stuff. Dad baked them whole with spices all wrapped up in banana leaf oh man it was lovely
