This is when we were farther offshore and trolling for mahi. The yellow plastic thing is called a "teaser" because it rattles back-n-forth on the water surface to attract the fish. Then, as you can see, a green/yellow "skirted ballyhoo" is trailing behind. It is to simulate a baitfish attempting to catch the teaser. Meanwhile, the bigger predator fish goes for the kill and ends up with a hook in the corner of his/her mouth.
