6 pound Coral Trout

Carey and Ken played hookey from work on Thursday morning and went up north of Okuma on the West side of the island to do a little fishing. The visibility was poor all morning, and very few fish were seen, although turtles and eagle rays were popping up everywhere. Ken drifted off of the main reef and ended up over a lone set of coral bommies over the sand, and initially targeted a nice sized parrot fish at 35 feet. Ken had the sneaking suspicion something was watching him, and sure enough, when he turned around mid water, this curious coral trout was checking out his flasher. Ken took aim with his Comp4X and got a nice stone shot on the fish. No fight from the fish at all.

Chef Carey takes over!
