    Beautiful fish.

    It makes you wonder how many huge ones like that could be lurking way out there in the sea lanes.

    this fish weighed in at 84.6 pounds and measured 5 feet, 9 inches, gives you something to compare it to.

    Andy,

    I am not knocking that tugboat dorado, it's a big fish. But I have seen some true 80's and mucho 60-70's down south and that fish looks to be in the latter category, definately not the former. Like all big bulls, a brutal beast and likewise like all of the really big ones, a notable catch.

    Thank you for posting picts of some weighed fish to give some perspective here.

    I love dem big dorado/mahi/dolphin. That's why I wrote a book about them.

    i thought i was the only person who had such a fascination with big bull dolphin. i will def. have to check out that book. they have always been my favorite pelagic. also in your expert opinion, what would be your #1 destination to travel to in hopes of landing multiple 60-70lbers?
