I was down in Loreto, B.C.S. fishing a tourney. First three days was spent off shore looking for pelagic s with only one knock down from a no-see-um, so no sails, marlin or dorado. The last day of the 2 day tourney I said we should stay inside and look for the usual suspects, which paid off with cabrea, pargo, dinner plate sized triggers and one gallo which weighed in at 42 lbs and was the biggest fish of the event. We don't normally keep roosters but this one was gill hooked and bleeding out so instead of it being worm food we donated it to needy families.

The fish was caught slow trolling live mackerel at one of our favorite spots for big roosters. This was a nice sized fish but this area has put out 90 lbers before.

Terrific.  Those roosters really pull like crazy.  Congratulations.  Dominick

I just got some pic's from the tourney officials at the weigh in.

Here is the crew from left to right.

First is Rick Hill from Sea and Land Tours in Loreto, Rick also provides the Loreto fishing info for several web based providers like Baja Bytes. Bloody Decks and other fishing sources like (WON) Western Outdoor News. Next is me. Third is Tony, A.K.A. "Palapa" for this trip, who is a local captian to Loreto. And last but not least is my father.
