After months of searching and several near misses, Zach caught his first mahi-mahi outside Nassau.

Mahi-Mahi are known as the best eating sport fish in the Bahamas. But, many sailors go seasons without catching one. They tend to be 5-20 pounds and spirited fighters. They may jump out of the air when on the line and “tailwalk” across the water. It was a treat for us to watch Zach catch one just as we were pulling into Nassau after our full day sail.
