The Birthday Mahi Mahi

For Ryan’s birthday this year he got an awesome unexpected present!  We were on the way from Eleuthera to the Abacos enjoying a nice day, not much wind but pleasant weather, when suddenly the fishing line starting going.  Ryan jumped up and went to work.

As he got it close we caught sight of the fish.  It looked to be a big one so Ryan was determined to get it in.

Just when success seemed certain the fish started going crazy and Ryan noticed that a shark had come up.  He wanted our fish!  Ryan was not about to let that happen!

Another 10 minutes and the fish was on deck!  Ryan feeling tired but triumphant shows off his catch.
