Very nice. I was hoping for a dolphin trip in the keys this past weekend. Unfortunately this makes the third time I carried the outriggers to the keys without getting to use them. You are making some long trips. No way could I make that in the V. I am on fumes at 70 miles tops. I get near 3 mpg with the Whaler though and that is why I been using it of late. With the 160 gallon tank it has some serious range. I need to repower my V and give it some more range, Jealous here...AND Congrats.

Great write up Skunk! I can't believe you went out that far by yourself. Awesome report and great work for being all alone that far out. Great video and love the music, hats off to you! Thank you for sharing.

Good job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry you "gaffed and released" one but that is understandable.
TRY not to let them off the gaff and put em in the box asap......THEN fist pump!!  Never lost one the way you did YET but have been VERY nervous before. I caught a 23 lb cow once and my gaff man got her in the throat/gills. He stood in the middle of my boat holding her and she proceeded to paint the ENTIRE cockpit and crew red. She thrashed on the gaff for every bit of 1 minute solid. Wish I had a pic. p.s. Oh and if you ain't careful, those tails will slap you in the nuts! Ask me how I know.

That is awesome! Like a few others said, i hope to do that when i repower my V20. I like what you have done to your boat. I love the hardtop.
 I went fishing with a friend last week and we got in a school of small chicken dolphin and between 5 people we caught 48 chicken dolphin. I am not too sure about eating them though. They seemed "mushy." (I filleted one and after seeing the meat, i froze the rest for shark bait/chum.) Are the chicken dolphin good to eat? Are they the same as the big dolphin?
