thanks for the report! A 15 lb bonita would be pretty big! Nice work... how many have you tried to eat? They are actually pretty good fresh... I did a cook off with bonita and yellowtail... bonita won! HAnds down! Ice em and they are great!

Beautiful night tonight!

A 15 lb Bonita is simply a slug. I wieghed my largest boney (15 lbs) thought it was closer to 20 or higher, was only 15 looked like an Albie was so big.

Boners simply rock, I mean the big ones of coarse. Troll 'em up

, just you and your tug . And please don't

. Do burn dragwashers though. Strong, light tackle
