Can't beat the after glow of a great fishing trip.  When the glow wears off a little, just open the freezer.  Dominick

Thanks everyone and yes Im a bit sore but more tired than anything and the cold I caught seems to have turned into the flu!  Good catch huh and I wasn't even looking to catch one.  I have a ton of pictures and some video coming.

That dog tooth snapper, called the king of the reef by the crew is so hard to get because he's so big and powerful he will strip line at 25lds drag and bend a 130 class rod over and get himself tucked safely into a cave.
The crew from Marlas developed and perfected a technique I have never seen before this day.  A large skipjack was bridled and sent down in top of the rocks, it immedietly heads for the bottom, once there it pisses off the king so bad it attacks mangles and carries it back towards his hiding hole.  That's when the angler sets the hook and lifts the rod while the captain simultaneously guns the engines and pulls the fish off the rocks.  He then shuts down the engines and the angler takes over for a long grueling battle.
All this without a single word. It was like watching a well rehearsed dance, executed to perfection.  I'm still in awe.

Congratulations on the fantastic trip Dave.  Quantity, quality and variety...what more could you ask for.  The only problem now is that your son is going to expect you to keep delivering those trips of a lifetime from now on.  You will be reliving those memories until you draw your last breath, and he will too.

[Big Tim]

Awesome David, this is the kind of trip I would like. Variety.

If you can ever make the opportunity to fish with the Osuna Brothers, I highly recommend it. 

[Cortez_Conversions]

That looks like a ton of fun David!

Tom it was and I enjoyed every minute of it, I can tell because everything still hurts a week later.
