Bonito are a under rated fish. When I lived in Southern Cal. it was one of the most popular fish to catch and very good eating. I haven't tried one on the east coast but we catch quite a few offshore while trolling. Last trip we caught one around 20lbs!! Nice catch...Mark

Thanks, Mark ........ Bonito the one with teeth ( not Bonita = False Albies ) are incredibly good grilled or make a great tuna salad ........ ICM
