Indeed.  They aren't as common in that clear water, even when the Sargassum is thick, but when they appear they are spectacular.  The big one I caught took the bait right away, jumped and spit it, then waited there for me to cast again.  Crazy, huh?  The second time it took it deep and I had it.  Just a 4/0 hook, so it didn't even bite him on the first cast.

  That is crazy, funny what fish do sometimes. I bet they look extra special all lit up in that super clear water!

Really lit up.  Too pretty to kill.  But we ate him for 2 days.

Enjoyed it.  Got to run an errand.  More in ~30.

Here's a toothy critter we caught a while back. On a king stinger rig fished off a down rigger. That was a hell of  battle on 20lb test and lil' # 4 trebles. Took a LONG time to get to the boat. I tired to use the gaff to pop the hook out of her mouth. I missed the hook and gaffed her in the mouth. She got mad! And buddy started screaming not to lose his gaff, the whole time I'm trying not to to get yanked over by a p.o.ed bull shark. Calamity ensued! If you look close you can see the skirt from the stinger rig in her mouth.

Hey, MD.  Yep, Ditch, big "Barra" (as they call em in Belize).  "Belize", MD.

I'll post some more pics in a sec.  Loading.

I was gonna say "bull shark" (round face), but the fins looked long.  Glad you said.  Just a sec.

Caught this one casting with open-faced reel.  Great fun.  Krocodile spoon.
