The sea is pretty choppy the moment we left the pontoon, makes the balls shrinked each time the boat rode up and down the crests, like a never ending roller coaster ride.
Not a good day at all said Captain Bob!
...
Still my hopes were very high!
...
We stopped a few times to get a feel of hooking on the bait and casting the lines. Either the fishes were damn hungry or there were tonnes of sea creatures out there because one of the guys caught some fishes in like 2 minutes! They were about 20 cm long, itsy bitsy considering we were going for the big guys. So some of these early catch were slaughtered and used as instant baits.
The seas continued to battle the fishing boat and Captain Bob had to hunt around with his sonar finder to locate the fishing grounds.
Pretty soon, the baits started to attract some big...
"I got Something!!!" shouted Beck the deckhand.
The rod bent hard, at times threatening to snap off. We knew it was something big!As the fish got closer we could see a beautiful blue shimmer dancing in frenzy!
"Mackerel!!"
With one swift swoop the deckhand hooked the monster fish up onboard.
Fish onboard! 
And then unceremoniously invited to go clubbing on board...hehe 
Don't you dare swallow the hook.... oh no. give em back! ...
And once the fish is no longer sober....
You proudly show it off...
I caught one of these mackerel, bloody fighters these guys, took me 5 minutes of fighting before this brave bugger gave in.
One of the most thrilling things I have done! And dream come true for me! WOW!
Hmm..poor Fauzan got a little seasick and all the bloody butchering that he decided he had quite enough action for the day.
Once on land, Fauzan got his kodak moment with the mackerel!
All 50-60cm of the mackerel. Should have got a bigger sink.

All 50-60cm of the mackerel. Should have got a bigger sink. In all, the whole boat of 9 got about 4 huge Mackerel and 15 smaller fishes shared amongst all.
We got 10 of these smaller buggers too. Some of them were still jumping around in the car boot on the way back!

And so, the day ended with a meal at Fauzan's place with Latiff and Hezmi.
