It's unusual to catch one opah on a sportfishing boat, but anglers out of San Diego manage to land three of the brightly colored 'moonfish' on one day
























Anglers aboard the San Diego-based Excel have spent the past several days loading up on tuna and yellowtail, during what many are describing as the most phenomenal bite in regional waters in decades.
But standing out among the yellowfin tuna, bluefin tuna, and yellowtail are three enormous fish shaped like the moon and nearly as radiant.  They are Opah, weighing in at 151, 180, and 124 pounds.

  1. Is any one of the three last name, "Winfrey"?

  2. Couldn't possibly be. They're all too small.

    1. Look at the eyes. They're Oprah Winfrey eyes, staring back at you - Oprah clones perhaps? That would explain three in one place.

    2. Have you ever been to a party where Oprah was present with two other clone fish?

      ...didn't think so.

      ...trade secret.
