Damn, dirty hippy... :rofl:

'Bout time. Honestly, stuff like this is what scares people about going to Mexico. More than cartel violence or anything else.

We do the camera thing in nearly all the tournaments in San Carlos. Because it's a release format, you call into tournament control when you hook-up, they tell you how many fingers to hold up in the picture with the billfish before you release it. All is recorded and must match up at the end of...

Did ya not read about the undercover AZGF agent that siphoned off a bunch of money over the past few years into an account he created with fake IDs? Was in the paper this past weekend. Yup. About as rotten as they come. And incompetent, to boot. This is what the agent said when confronted...

When I was rich and famous, I used to bounce back and forth between San Carlos and Rocky Point all the time. mis2810 pointed out something very important for you -- the drive time. The absolute BEST I ever made it going to San Carlos from Tempe was 7 hours (not towing). In fact, we'd generally...

You forgot the most important thing: ICE COLD INDIO ON TAP!!!!!! In the grande gallon stein, no less!!! :puff:

There was something "dubious" the first year or so of the tournament when a Mexican walked away with top winner prize with a fish that looked like it had been dead and on ice somewhere for over a week. Just sayin'. The past few years have seemed to be totally on the up and up.

Mormon grandmothers are the new Al Capones of drug smuggling. Don't kid yourselves!!! (yes, I'm absolutely joking.) :puff:

They make them up as they go. :puff:

I'm looking forward to it this year - hopefully the wind and water cooperate. Spent a good part of yesterday in the garage making grouper rigs. Setup a new pole and reel with 80 lb. PowerPro. Sharpened my hand gaff. Tweaking this and tweaking that. All the little things you don't think about at...

And that's exactly why I avoid holiday weekends! :puff:

MNK - Please feel free to filter some of the "bleeding heart" comments on this forum. Although I haven't experienced what you describe at the Rocky Point checkpoint, I certainly have at other Mexican checkpoints, particularly while traveling Baja. At one, a young soldier literally kicked the...

Damn, Robert... That be some "hawg" stuff going on with that fish! Fat doesn't even begin to describe it!!

Very true, ADR. It takes skilled labor and I doubt Penasco has much of it. But, like anything else (and as you say), if you build it, they will come. So will the benefits that can be passed on for generations to come. Penasco has always made its living from the sea. They still do, but not by...

You talkin' to me?? Huh, punk? :puff: You would be describing me perfectly except for two things - my F250 was built at the Ford Kentucky Truck Plant; AND I don't drink and drive here in the US or in Mexico. Oh, I might have a drink or two or three with dinner and race back to the casita at a...

Brazil has been producing what I call "puddle jumper" (regional) commercial aircraft for many, many years. Some of the most economical, reliable and longest lasting planes out there. They offer all kinds of commercial, private and military aircraft. Embraer

Holy Schmoly! That thing is a freakin' tank!!

Look no further than Florida for your answer, Dry Heat. In Florida, for example, you must purchase a separate policy for wind coverage. Due to major hurricanes and massive payouts, there is now basically only ONE insurer that writes any kind of wind insurance in the state - Citizens. And you pay...

Silly me, thinking I've heard nearly every secret rumor about Rocky Point over the years! Then, this today in the AZ Republic. (page B10) :puff:

Looks like fun! I haven't been rock codding in forever.
