Belizean wahoo

Nothing beats freshly grilled fish ... except, of course, when you catch it yourself!

On our last morning in Belize, we went deep sea fishing.  With quite a struggle, I pulled in the first fish ... a four-ish foot long barracuda with some NASTY looking teeth.  The boys pulled in a couple of tuna and a nice wahoo that put up quite a fight.  The last bite was mine, and after about thirty minutes on the reel, I wound up with a big fat wahoo!  Our first estimate was thirty pounds, four and a half feet, but now that I have had some time to reflect, I am quite sure he was at least five feet long and forty plus pounds. 

Catch of the day, coming up! 

Our fishing captain cleaned the fish and cut us some steaks, which a local restaurant prepared for us for lunch.  Salt, pepper, lime, oregano, chile ... we definitely enjoyed a full plate of delicious wahoo!
