Nice catches...I have always said that the Mahi Mahi , Dolphin , Dorado ( all the same fish ) have the most beautiful colors when you first bring them in. The blue , greens and yellows are amazing. I caught a 48lb bull when I was 11 yrs old when I still lived in FL. Oh and I used to throw back all those bonitas...their nickname in FL was "bloody tuna" for obvious reasons...they made good sharkbait though.
