We caught Marlin

The video is taking forever to upload but suffice to say... Fishing was great. Riley caught the first Marlin. It was a striper and weighed about 185 pounds. He got it in the boat after more than an hour in the chair fighting it. Avery hooked two but lost them both after short fighhts. Brian got hooked up and fought for a while. He had the chair while I hooked mine and had to fight it standing in the back of the boat for 20 minutes until Brian finally lost his due to a broken line. After another hour of fighting it, I finally got it in the boat. We hooked a few more, but never landed anything else.
All in all... it was a good day.
Went straight to the pool when we got back and we're now headed down the beach to get some dinner at the Office.
I have video of it all. Please be patient and check back later tonight.
Miss you all.

OK... Before we get to the Marlin Videos... I wanted to show you all the Condo. It's freakin gorgeous. We have the Presidential Suite where all of the website Promotional shots are taken from and of. Enjoy.



Now... on to the good stuff.
This is us pulling out of the docks and introducing the crew.



Sunrise over Cabo



Riley hooks a Marlin



20 minutes later and still fighting



He gets it to the surface



45 minutes later and he is STILL fighting it. With a little help from his dear old dad.



He finally brings it on board more than an hour after he hooked it.



Tired... but excited.



Avery gets on a fish



He fought it for about 15 minutes, but then it got away...





This bitof video is where Brian and Darrin both hooked into Marlins at the same time. Brian had the chair and I had to stand in the boat and fight the fish. That left only Avery and Riley to run the video camera. It's cinema verite for sure. But you get to see more of me without my shirt on. If you're in to that kind of thing.



My fish is finally spent from more than an hour of fighting and comes to the boat with nothing left in him.



When we got back to the condo, we immediately hit the pool.



Walked down the beach for Dinner at the Mambo Deck restaurant. Grandpa told them it was Brian's birthday. They brought him down on stage and humiliated him in front of hundreds of patrons. Inluding a bare bottom spanking and a lapdance from a man. He was tied to a chair at the time. Unfortunately my video camera was back at the condo uploading the days catch videos. Use your imagination. then double it.

Tomorrow is Wave Runners... stay tuned.
