My first Albie

[imonna 19 6]

For a few weeks each year, the false albacore come in close enough for those of us with little boats to get to them.

Headed out to a few spots and finally got one on the boat




and apparently this is how you are supposed to show them in a pic (up here in NE)


Pound for pound, these things put up an unbelievable fight, especially on light tackle.

Gotta be like our Bonitas over here in the Gulf.  Hell of a lot of fun, can throw a bare gold hook and get a strike and a fight...but bleed like hell when cut in half by a 'cuda...

Man, you must be able to see fish tracks on the water.  You sure do post a lot of pictures of a good time  

[T Race]

Great job there, Bill  

Hope to be getting some of them out here someday soon!!

You certainly are the fish-catchingest-dude around, good on ya !!

Brother Bill can catch fish in the bathtub

Gotta be like our Bonitas over here in the Gulf.

Pretty sure it's the same fish.

When we were in the keys fishing for Yellow Tail Snapper with 10 pound mono we caught a bunch of big Bonita,light tackle on those fish is a blast

Got into the Bonita here in SW FL the last few days. About a mile outside the passes they are mixed in with the spanish mackerel. Drag screaming fun, 5-10# range. They get bigger as things cool off
