It was a good day, it was a bad day…….good because the fishing was awesome, bad because it’s our last day. Winds and seas were calmer, fishing for bait was quick as was the trip out to the grounds. Put our lines in and…..all quiet. Then Tom hooks up and lands the first fish, then nothing……uh oh. The thing is we got there a little early and as soon as the tide started to change after about an hour all heck broke loose! We had a triple hook up at one point, landed two of them and then continued to hook and land fish for about an hour and 1/2. The captain at one point was up front casting and jigging an artificial lure on a small rod and reel set up and then hooks up, hands it to me and oh my the fight was on. The rod bent so much the line was rubbing on the butt handle in front of the reel, and I had to fight the fish from one side, to the front and other side, then back around the front…….. Landed it and went to the back of the boat to catch my breath and tend the live bait rod…….and then the familiar ZZZZZZZZZZ of the drag going out. I set the hook and the fight was on! After landing that one my hand and arm was shaking, what a blast for the last day! We finished up and headed back at about 12:15. Thanks to all on the stage who have followed and enjoyed this trip with me. I hope after I get home I can pare down some of the videos enough to post and give you a sense of some of the fights we enjoyed! And I’d like to say Baja Pirates of La Paz knows what they are doing!
