Headed to the otherside for St. Patrick's Day aboard the Flying Dutchman out of Port Canaveral to look and see what we could find. Morning started out slow, nothing all the way to 90 miles. Found a could packs of birds but no tuna home, started to head back west and ended up finding a floating barrel and a weed line. I am by no means an experienced free diver but I hopped in for a look. Ended up shooting several mahi, one being the biggest I have ever seen in person.
This one went 59.8 lbs
Got this on hook and line later in the day
Total for the day
25+ Mahi
2 Wahoo
7 Triple tail
1 Cobia - anyone else ever seen a Cobia 75 miles offshore???

Strange finding a cobia that far out but that coincides with a report from an FWC guy I talked to. He said that he had reports of Rays and cobia in 180' depths outside Sebastian on March 16 the day before your St Patty day killin spree. Looks like the cold water has a lot of patterns messed up.
Congrats again and thanks for sharing.
