I don't do anything special really, I just use wax worms on a size #6 or #8 hook, a couple split shots and a bobber. These took a while to get but once they are fully in on their beds they will get super aggressive and will hit that wax worm almost as soon as it lands in the water. I've limited out in under half an hour with hand sized gills.

Good man! I was gonna ask if you hit your limit but you clearly did.
Panfish are so much fun on light fishing gear.

Looks like a great day of fishing. They're so much fun to catch on light gear. If you can find a bait shop with live crickets, they work well, too.
Enjoy your feast!

I have a couple of 6 foot fiberglass poles that used to be a flags for a go cart. We put a couple of eyes on them with whatever the lightest line we had was and 5" wooden dowels at the bottom and those are my bream poles. One time I was fishing off a dock and a school of black bass moved in. I hooked into a few of them and managed to land 2 I think. That was a hell of a lot of fun. They weren't keepers but that didn't matter to me.

I only eat fish when I’m going out if I know they are fresh, and being in the Midwest that’s hard to do with fish from the ocean. When I was in FL last summer I ate everything but that I think.

They are one of my favorite fish to eat. Awesome fighters, quick growing, and one of the best looking fish as well in the sea. If you are putting bars of gold on the deck you are having a good day.

Dorado eh? Where was this? You have your own boat?
Hell yeah they're good eating. One of my favorite. They're an awesome fight too. They consistently put up a good fight the entire time unlike wahoo which just kinda have a long fast run.

South China Sea. Around this time of year the Dorado and Yellowfin schools move north from the spratlys.

Yeah. Those things are so fun to catch and they are smart as shit.
also they are creepy. I used to live by a lake that had a lot of ducks on it and they will stick their heads out of the water to look to see if any were on the banks, I shit you not.
I’d be fishing and would have one every so often come up to where I was at and stick it’s head out of the water to look at me and then swim off.

I thought the other name for mahi mahi was dolphin fish. It's got 3 names? Well if that's mahi mahi, then it is good and I don't even care much for fish.

I thought only Hawaiians called them dolphin. Hawaii is the only place i have heard it called that.
