When trolling to and from the bottom fishing spots we drag artificial lures to try to catch other fish like Mahimahi, Ono, Tuna like the skipjack (Aku), yellowfin (Ahi), wavyback (Kawakawa), and occasionally even Marlin. We actually did catch a 350+ pounder on the way to the bottom fishing spot a few years ago. Rarely we will also catch barracuda, bluefin trevally, and giant trevally while trolling.
