As I type this it is raining, no it is pouring and it is so loud that it is the only thing I can hear. If I were to go outside I would literally be soaked in seconds. As you know I live in the tropics so rain gear is really out of the question. I would sweat to death and then end up wetter than if I did not wear anything.
Ok you get the point that weather does play a major role in my/our fishing times and lives.
So it came to be, Yuki wants to go fishing again on Sunday. We make the plans to meet at 7:30 at the boat.
Thursday, Friday and Saturday all have fine weather. In fact the weather is so fine I start thinking Sunday is going to be fine. What a fool I am.
I wake up around 4:30 to the sound of wind and driving rain. I better text Yuki and see what he thinks. Not surprising he says we go. As my Australian friends would say, "fair dinkum". We go.
As Yuki, Jose and Imaken (Kanto) arrive at the boat the sky actually starts to clear up and for a brief moment I feel that the fish gods are smiling at us. Yeah right, dream on.
We head out with high expectations and visions of Giant Trevally.
As we clear the river mouth the first thing I notice is a Southerly swell and a NE wind. Not what the doctor ordered.
It does not take us long to arrive at our starting point and the first casts are made in no time.
With in minutes Yuki is hooked up to a nice GT. After a classic Yuki fight where he almost gets pulled out of the boat, he weighs maybe 60kg, the GT is boated.

This next image is Yuki and myself performing a bit of hook removal surgery. Notice the blue saltwater hose in the mouth. I had to remove the hooks from the popper to get them out. Luckily the gills were not hooked and only minor bleeding that was stopped by the time I released it.

The weather then started to act up. With the wind kicking up to 25knots and rain squalls blowing through, it's amazing we even caught another fish.
Here is a shot of Yuki and Jose doing the popping thing.

Good for him he persisted and never gave up. He eventually hooked a very large Unicorn fish, albeit in the ass, but a fish is a fish.

It is in Japanese but it is always fun to use google translator and look at the pictures.

Very happy to see that you are out to the ocean again. Very nice CR. Keep it up.....
Maybe you need to get Yuki some good Mexican food. It'll put a little meat on his bones. Or, you could always nail his sneakers to the deck, that'll keep him in the boat. LOL

weathers settling eh? show us more! Videos maybe?
Como ya es costumbre en vosotros, bonitas fotos y escepcionales capturas.
Un saludo.
Absolutely beautiful fish. These ol' eagle eyes of mine really enjoy looking at some of your great fish from your home waters. I bet it would be easy to be overwhelmed for the average angler who has never fished for these type fish.
what a great truth you told in the beginning of the post. Weather rules the lifes of everyfisherman.
As always awsome fishes, specilly that unicorn was a big discovery to me, its the fisrt time that see it, but it reminds me a little tho the one callez in Spain "pes ballesta", crosbow fish.
Very nice report, congratulations.
halow bro..can u teach me how to caught GT?Nice your new Logo i like it..
FW: That was a neat report with a neat selection of varied fish.
BTW: Didn't catch fish on the cold windy day but got a few today, the water is still warming so it won't be long before the bite is on.
