Mahi Mahi caught while fishing at Riviera Beach City Marina with fishing boat and rods on blue ocean water

The boat rocks gently on the waves. Sun glints off the water. A flash of blue and gold catches the eye. A mahi-mahi leaps from the sea. Its vibrant colors shimmer in the light. The fisherman grips his rod tightly. The fish darts and dives. The battle begins. Excitement fills the air. The ocean stretches endlessly. A perfect day for fishing.
