LOL Allen.... Beer, Night and Rough Ocean.. Perfect cocktail for  :puke:

The first time this happened, it was a clear, but rough night.  I was up on the open bridge just hanging out.  Of course with the wave action the stars were just swinging back and forth across the sky.  I can still close my eyes and picture those damn swinging stars.  Didn't take long to start feeling bad.  I went back down to the deck to the part of the boat that rocks the least, centerline right where the boat pivots over the waves.  Didn't take long to feel better.  Trolled for swordfish that whole night without so much of a sniff.

The next day was one of those magical fishing days.  We had a 5 header of sailfish go off at one point with free jumpers all around to.  Got absolutely clobbered with only 2 crankers on the rods.  Had to engage the deckhands to pull their weight.  Hah!  Even the captain came down from the bridge for a turn.  Later found a really nice pod of yellowfin, a few king mackerel, and a wahoo.  Went looking for a black marlin, had one drive by but no joy.  So ... bonus points if you can guess where I was.

All those fishies in one place sounds like east coast to me.  But pretty far south because of the black marlin.  I'm guessing east coast of Costa Rica.  Am I even close?

No black marlin in the Atlantic.  Well, except for a few suspect strays.  And no king mackerel in the eastern Pacific.  The Indo-Pacific King mackerel is very similar to the king mackerel off the east coast.  This was in the Indian ocean off the coast of Kenya.

That was my second guess.
