Lan's Ulua


Landon caught this 73-pound ulua early yesterday morning at a secret spot. I put a golf ball on top of it so that you can see how HAYUGE it is.

He finally caught one, Mich.

For real, Aunty. I wasn't even sure he would let me post a picture.

N, Landon said that the meat for a fish this size is normally tough, so he's asked my brother-in-law to smoke it.

Ulua meat is tough and kinda dry, but tasty. It does make good sashimi when fresh. If you fry it, put it in mayonnaise first and you can season/panko/whatever. VERY ono that way, and moist.

Mayo sounds good, Aunty!!

And imagine Mark . . . Landon jumped in the water to untangle the line and wires that were tangled up in the coral.

Fishermen are like that, Les.

They are pretty rare I think, Kay.

Yah, Kat!
