Nope, it’s not a yellowfin tuna. Nor is it a wahoo or even a mahi-mahi. After six hours on 10-foot seas—a blissful half-day charter spent trawling Bermuda's Challenger Bank aboard Paradise One—my best bite of the day was the toothy silver fish I’m holding above: a 20-pound barracuda that I happily took home and ate for dinner. Which is not to say the bigger swimmers weren’t biting. We hooked at least three major-sized wahoo while motoring about 12 miles off shore, but unfortunately they bit their lines and got away (because of course, there always has to be a story about the one that got away, right?). Bottom line, if you’re headed to Bermuda and are at all into fishing, this is a trip that shouldn’t be missed. After all, where else in North America can you motor just 30 minutes off shore and be in waters more than 400 feet deep? In the meantime, a major thanks to first mate Delvin and Captain Allan at Paradise One Fishing Charters for a stellar day at sea!

On The High Seas
You know what's so great about the internet? At this very moment I'm on a fishing charter in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, setting my reel and casting my rod in search of some major marine life off the coast of Bermuda. So before we get ahead of ourselves know that this post will be brief—after all, I'm on a boat! That said, if you want to see a picture of me with a giant wahoo, mahi-mahi or tuna hoisted in the air in glorious victory, then make sure to tune in on Monday when I plan to post photos of my very best catch. In the meantime, I'll be clearing out my freezer and firing up my grill. Lines down!
