    Caught this sucker this morning

    Went out today (Boxing Day) for an early morning fish in Rarotonga and caught this beauty, 20kg Mahimahi, my arms are buggered. Cruised round two fads trying to hook some tuna and came up empty handed so headed out a little further, spotted some birds and trawled thru them hooking this bugger.

    Good one! I've seen videos of people catch these fish on YouTube and wondered what they were.

    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    Good shit!
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Great fish and beautiful eating. Only ever caught one (a 14kg bull outside Whangaparoa harbour) but they are a fish too remember. Aerobatic and colourful.
