We arrived late and were stopped the police at a roadside inspection point.  Scotty bought this used truck 3 months ago and had it registered.  Somehow, the VIN number comes up as stolen.  The impounded the truck and arrested Scotty.  We just found out that they are going to let him out. We are already 5 hours late. Hey, Mexico is always an adventure!!!

[alantani]

Meanwhile,  we wait at the boat. Scotty should be here in a couple of hours.

[MarkT]

Ha ha ha, welcome to Mexico!!!

[alantani]

They finally let Scotty out of jail at midnight.  Here's our first fish.

[David Hall]

Im surprised they only took Scotty! Good to hear they didn't keep him long, probably didn't want to have to feed him. 
Nice MARLIN, Now get busy catching YFT.   

[alantani]

Skunked all day yesterday,  nothing so far this morning.  Only 8 hours left in our trip. Not sure we'll be able to turn this one around.

[alantani]

First tuna, maybe 30 pounds.

Other than the Marlin, I did not catch a single fish. I must be a jinx. We couldn't even catch any bottom fish, except for one nice AJ. And it took over 2 hours to get through Immigration in Atlanta. Made it home at midnight.
