What do you use for a heave set up? Rod reel?
I didn't bring my own stuff this time, using loaner gear. Most of my gear is old and tired and I am starting to upgrade to Avet/Seeker set ups. I do have a Avet JX Raptor with a seven foot jig stick for throwing irons and bombs. New stuff is amazing but dang is it expensive.

Don't fish sticks taste good?
Merely a vehicle for tartar sauce, which when made correctly, is good on everything.

Here in Spain they are called Peto and if you want an explanation, the fishermen tell you it's kind of a white tuna. They do look like something between a Tuna and a Barracuda, but they are like smitty said part of the Mackrel family and can be as long as two meters and they taste pretty good with a salsa made of fresh mangas, red onions, chily lime and a little bit of palm honey.
Cheers Rob
I looked up peto after I saw that and got dozens of pictures of some naked male porn star...barf!!

They are in the King Mackerel family. Actually they dont have big scary teeth, it is a row of fine razor sharp ones. Most cuts come from handling them. Crew are quick to club them once in the boat. What sets them apart though is they have been known to jump into boats. If you are fishing them by casting and retrieving a jig you have to pause before taking your jig out of the water as they will follow it right into the boat. Many an angler has been injured this way.

Couldn't resist, I'm so happy and got 5 kilos of freshly caught Peto or White Tuna or Wahoo or whatever it is called in other places on the market today for nearly nada.
Cheers Rob
Wahoo or Ono as it is called in Japan and Hawaii. White Tuna is more like Albacore. I am actually going fishing for these in July. Teeth so sharp they will filet you open in a heartbeat.
