Default Re: They're NOT Mahi Mahi, they're dolphin!

How you fight them from the moment they are hooked until they are bled makes a HUGE difference in food quality. When I decide to keep one, it's decided when it's hooked, not when it's landed. Crank down the drag, get it in RIGHT NOW, cut it, bleed it, straight onto the ice. Only the top two loins are kept and those are only eaten raw - cooked isn't nearly as mild.

I'll agree: take 6-10 minutes to land the thing: worth nothing more than fertilizer.
