My Mahi

My Mahi-Mahi experience was awesome!!  It was on Tuesday, March, 12, 2014 at about 9:00am.  We were headed to Chub Cay from Nassau. When dad shouted, "Fish!!  Fish!!" my heart started pounding like crazy and I said to myself, "Please be a Mahi-Mahi, oh, please be a Mahi-Mahi."  

Dad asked me if I wanted to reel it in.  Of course I said, "YES!!"  I reeled it in as fast as I could.  All of a sudden, the fish jumped clear out of the water and we all shouted, "It's a Mahi-Mahi!"  

It's a Mahi!

Dad gaffed it right through the eyeball and got it on the boat.  Dad read in a book that if you use an ice pick and stab it into the brain it will kill the fish quickly.  Dad carried the fish to my feet and said, "High-five Wren!"  The Mahi change from blue, green, and yellow, to black, grey and brown, in about 29 seconds.

Then dad asked me if I wanted to fillet the fish, I said, "Yes I do!"  Filleting a big fish with a very dull knife if very hard.  That's a warning!

Thank you, Mahi

Thank you.

When dad said that it was time to move on, I was happy because I wanted to catch more Mahi-Mahi!  Maybe, I'll catch one more.

Hope all is well,
