Default Quick trip to the edge

Me and friend phil kerrigan headed out around 1:00 on kind of a spur of the moment trip to see if we could put a fish in the box and salvage what was suppose to be a rough day. Got to the edge at around 2:00 in Phil's 35' marlago and put out a five line spread. Got a short hit on a skipping ballyhoo 5 min. into trolling. Hooked up at 3:30 on a blu/white ilander. Got the 40lb.wahoo in pretty quickly and put them back out. Hooked up again at 4:15 on a yo-zuri bonita and judging by the rate line was leaving the spool it was a much bigger fish. Ended up pulling the hooks within 30 seconds. Fished until about 5 and headed in. Water was a clean green but not even somewhat blue. Water temp. 75.6 with a lot of flying fish starting to show up. Sorry didn't take any pics

I'm sorry I thought i put it in there but i overlooked it, it was a 40lb. wahoo.

chris, I think the next 2 weeks are going to be the most annoying in my life waiting to see if that fish sticks in there but it will be hard to beat.
