In this video:
Mahi is one of my favorite fish to catch n cook. I also love to catch and cook tuna. In this case, black fin tuna. So i'm super excited we finally got lucky offshore trolling key largo. It's about time. But let's rewind!

First, we anchor in 35ft of water on the key largo patch reefs. We put a chum bag out and the ballyhoo show up instantly. We use theballyhoop net and quickly fill the livewell with ballyhoo. We will troll these ballyhoo to catch mahi and tuna.

The funny thing is all the mah and tuna we catch were caught on feathers and dive plugs. None were actually caught on the juicy ballyhoo baits we were trolling offshore.

We put a mahi mahi in the boat along with handful of black fin tuna. These are going to be perfect for the mahi tacho catch n cook
I am planning. I also decide to catch and cook the tuna up in 2 ways. Seared with sesame seeds and one served raw.

What a great day trolling offshore out of key largo Florida! I hope you have been enjoying the south florida fishing channel!
