We went deep sea fishing today in Costa Rica! It started out slow but then I hooked a massive mahi mahi but it came of, and we found a school of tuna and couldn’t stop catching them. We ended up catching 7 big tuna.

Word on the docks is Fluffy’s gone and done it again, bagged himself a YFT the size of a small car. You’d think after all that time in lockup ⛓️‍💥 I would have slowed down, but nah, you can’t keep Fluffy down. He pops back up every time, fresher than a cold tinny on a hot day, grinning like he owns the ocean. Authorities can try, the sea can fight, but the legend of Fluffy keeps fishing. Cheers Fluffy 🎣
