Deep Sea Fishing at the Equator

Lures with hooks as big as your hand

The marlin and mahi mahi are running in the Pacific off the coast of Ecuador, so I put together a deep sea fishing trip with friends. Leaving before dawn and returning after dark, we had a great day out fishing.   Great weather, a great fishing boat crew, and we brought home about 150 pounds of mahi mahi!

Very capable fishing boat crew

Jesse gets a big one!

Colin pulls one in

Frigate birds: interested observers!
