Alan's Back!

Just got a text from AT. They are safely back at the dock at La Cruz (Puerto Vallarta) and will be home tomorrow. They caught 8 fish, 7 were between 70 and 120 pounds. His last fish taped out at 272 pounds, so I'm sure he's a "happy camper".

Nope. About 100# left. He needs to stock up.

Few people over 60 have a back that could handle it. Alan has his own style, he leans on the rail buttons down the drag and beats the hell out of the fish. He probably landed it in around 25 minutes or less (guessing) Would have taken me an hour standing up and I'd have to rest for the remainder of the day and be sore for weeks.
