Mahi Mahi fish caught while deep sea jigging, trolling, and using heavy tackle and light tackle in Palm Beach Shores, Palm Beach County.

The boat rocked gently. Waves lapped against the hull. Sunlight glinted off the water. A flash of silver caught our eye. A mahi-mahi leapt from the depths. Its vibrant colors shimmered in the light. The line went taut. The reel screamed. The fight was on. We battled the powerful fish. It darted and dove. Finally we brought it aboard. A beautiful specimen. A perfect end to our day on the water.
