That is one truly amazing picture man!!

how cool is that.. like everyone said we get HUGE ones up here in the NE and they can sure pull on a line if hooked...

never seen one out of the water that looked like that.. even at the aquarium!!

Snagged one flounder fishing years ago, they can move ! emptied my 6500 garcia, wasn't cool, but the ones we have sure aren't as colorful

That is ONE COOL looking creature!!! Where were you fishing??
I've been wanting to get a picture with one of the large ones that we have here..almost jumped in with a 10 hammerhead by accident!!
Welcome and thanks for sharing!!

I caught it fishing off a FAD on Oahu.

Nice, hope you released it.

Edit: How did it fight? Not very hard I'd guess judging by it's shape/tail.

Yes it was released. It fought like a small tuna and when I put it back it was swam away pretty fast. I was surprised because I too didn't think it could swim very well.
