SWEET! Did he catch it trolling a spread of pink and yellow hoochies at 4 knots, or did he go old school and drag a dead mullet with a broken spine?

HEY, HEY! What you two do with your fish in the privacy of your own bedroom is nobody else's business... But please stop putting that image in my head. :ostrich:

Now That's what I'm talkin about.... no gaff either- just reel the tip-top guide right up to his nose, and sling him over the rail.... That's how I'm gonna boat my next big fish. I see those guys on Wicked Tuna throw those harpoons at the fish's head- maybe I'll try that, too.

Is this the same Connie who has her new book "How to Outfish your Husband (and still get him to clean the boat afterward)" in its final edit before publishing?:stir: Ummm yeah- I'm with her. :smile:

a clip from the last 2 minutes of the fight with the 88 pounder I caught a few weeks back... No farts in this one :lol:, just a couple cuss words. Ummmm, AZRob- notice no fighting belt? That's how WE roll.... :har: (just teasin) Man, watching a video of yourself catching a fish, while...

Sport fishing - giving the fish a 50/50 shot of coming out the victor. It's been a good fishing season so far this year - you guys were out 15-16 miles, yes?

Mexico has no proof of insurance laws... insurance is discretionary, but still a great idea. Don has it exactly right regarding all the paperwork you need for boat and trailer....

Art and Ted- Great first hand stories... Thanks to you both for your contributions to this discussion.

Hmmmm.... Not wanting to flame anyone for their personal tackle choices, but I have placed Spider Wire (and all the other super thin chain-woven braids) on my permanent blacklist. All it takes is one tiny little nick or fray in them, and they go from 200lb test to 8lb test. Braids that use...

Very nice fish... No comment on the fighting belt. :D

mmmm now I'm hungry for some mariscos...

Yup, Asian shrimp in Florida, asian carp in the midwest, and asian snakeheads are taking over many eastern rivers as well.

Mantis shrimp do taste just like lobster. Delicious But NEVER try to grab one while snorkelling or diving - nets are mandatory, and break off those club/claws with pliers before putting them in your net. Their other common name is "thumbsplitter" for good reason. Watch Mark's video above to...

I was once fishing in the mouth of La Marua estuary at low tide when I happened upon a nice 4 inch conch shell, so I stuffed it in the net-pocket on my backpack to give to my daughter after I was done fishing... about 15 minutes later, from 100 feet away, my bro-in-law says "what's that on your...

Don't tease me... all the big dirt berms are finally cleared out?

Thanks, Dog. If I can make half as much sense as Jerry or Roberto then I guess I'm doing ok... (you know, since I am also half their age :wink: )

LOL.. the philosopher fisherman (Fishlosopher?) says the corvina should be starting to show up in numbers - the water is over 70 degrees, and that is when the warm season species usually start showing up ... Hmmm... "Fishlosopher"... do I have a new name for my boat?

Shhh...don't tell anyone, but so am I :wink:

I popped a GPS mark as we passed it two weeks ago so that I'll always know where it is even if the water is high. Hopefully, the "thugs" will keep cutting more and more off it during extreme low tides, and soon it will be cut down low enough that it will only be a hazard when the tide is really...

You are directing that question at me, right? Again, this is all philosophy, but I personally only see two kinds of victims in this world: 1) Victims of their own recklessness (volunteers) 2) Victims of someone else's recklessness (innocent victims) Examples of the first kind are easy - take...
