I had just finished cleaning out the fridge. Nothing fresh was left. I was in the cockpit getting rid of the spoiled food, some cheese, fruit, and bread. Before finishing, I got a hit on the rod. I heaved to and started fighting the fish. It took me twenty minutes to tire the fish out and bring it alongside the boat. Without a gaff, I had to grab the nearly five foot dorado by the gills and wrestle it aboard. By the time I processed the fish, more than an hour had passed. I\u2019m sorry to say I could not take all of the fish. I cut out six huge fillets, leaving perhaps a third of the fish as fish food. But even if I eat fish twice a day for the next week, I don\u2019t think I will finish what I have.<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"525\" height=\"265\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aegir-ran.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_1151-1.jpg?resize=525%2C265&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1758\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aegir-ran.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_1151-1.jpg?w=1000&amp;ssl=1 1000w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aegir-ran.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_1151-1.jpg?resize=300%2C152&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aegir-ran.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_1151-1.jpg?resize=768%2C388&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Until yesterday, I had not fished since catching the shark at Raroia.
