Funny subject matter. I wore my Speedos under my shorts. Joe and Wayne paid me $20.00 a piece to leave my shorts on. ;D ;D ;D

Now on to a fast report. Here we are on the plane down to Los Cabos.

We had a great day fishing. Here are a few photos. I'll send more after we get home. The hotel wifi is a little troublesome. We are having cool mornings and hot days then cooling in the evening. Everywhere we go there is massive reconstruction going on. Viva Mexico. BTW Joe caught the big Wahoo. We estimate 60-70 lbs. Dominick

Whew, you scared me for a second.
Looks like a blast of a trip.
nice going dom, looks like you had a ball with great friends
Good Job! Wayne, Joe and Dominick! ;D
I think I would have paid ten more to keep your shirt on! :o
My niece and her husband live in Los Cabos. He is the general manager for the Hilton Resort on the beach. I've been meaning to go visit them but haven't had a chance yet. After looking at the fish you caught I might be making some plans ;D
i saw the word "speedos" and thought for sure that the post was going to have to get deleted! ;D
Sal & Broadway Dom!
I'll send out a PayPal request for the $20 out-of-pocket!
A request I'm sure YOU will understand!
Out tomorrow for big tuna!
Lots of photos to, post when we return! Having issues with gotomypc.com from Los Cabos.
So far top equipment is the Baja Special & of course the Tank!
El Pescador!
Shark Hunter!
I'll add you to the PP List for $10! I may bill you for more depending on what Dominick decides to do tomorrow!
I know YOU will understand!!!!!
Fish ON!
Wayne
Good Mojo to you Wayne!
It is 19 degrees here and I'm freezing my butt off! :o

:D :D...no respect Dominick, I kind of think you look sexy, but it's Friday evening, I had a few glasses of wine and I'm probably lying :-\.
Congratulation Joe, nice Wahoo ;), great pics so far, can't wait for some more.
Wayne, I believe Dom already wired the money and if I know him, he probably sent my share as well ;D.
Dominick, let me see that Tank in some action again ;).
Good luck guys and be safe.
Sal
Oh boy.
:D :D :D :D
My Uncle says the same thing over and over. OH BOY! ;D
Good Luck Guys! Stay safe and catch some bigguns! ;)
Sal, You are scaring me! :-[
Glad your trip started out great now catch some more and keep the pics coming. Slop on the sunscreen and be safe.

$20 was well spent
doin the twist in speedos omg ;D
I have to admit Sal. Dominick is looking good for his age! I can only hope to be as active and sharp as him when I get there. Looking Good Mr. Libonati! ;D
A few weeks ago, I had lunch with Erik from Fiji and he was telling me stories of actually hanging out with Dominick and the Boss. Small World. ;)
Okay folks here are some more photos.
Wayne was working an iron and not paying attention. He did not realize the lure was close to the surface when he gave the rod a jerk. The lure came out of the water like a rocket. He saw it coming and turned his face. The lure caught him in the side of face and ear. The top of the ear was severed. His face and ear took 21 stitches. He's okay with it. Like the trooper he is he kept fishing.

I caught a Frigate-I was fishing for an Albatross.

Here I am taking a break. The Tank is safely in the rod holder. The Tank caught Dorado, Wahoo, Tuna, Sierra and White Bonita on this trip. It's a heck of a reel.

This is what the hotel chef did with the Sierra. It was great ceviche.

Then the chef took the White Bonita and Yellow Fin and prepared this plate of sashimi.

This is a plate of Dorado grilled with garlic and butter. Can you smell that great aroma???

What a nice report guys, well except for Wayne of course.
Wayne that cut looks nasty, what a trooper, kept right on fishing. I'm glad you're ok, it could have been much worse.
Dominick, I'm glad the Tank is performing nicely, did you catch that frigate with it as well? That one will be hard to beat. I'm glad that bird didn't take the Tank,they steal anything.
All of you did great, but I must say, that Dorado is one of the best I've ever seen, good job.
Now, for the sixth pic down, you should have stopped arguing with Joe, all he was trying to tell you was to put your darn shirt on...please ::) ;D
Very nice guys, thanks for the entertainment ;)
Sal
Dominick,Wayne, looks like you guys had a blast!! Great pictures. Sorry about the ear Wayne. Just goes to prove that fishing is a strong medicine. Glad everything turned out good. Thanks for posting.
Bob
Good Job Fellas! ;D Thanks for taking us along Dominick! ;)
Nice!!!! Wayne, don't do that!
BTW that was a Blue-footed Boobie not a Frigate..Frigates can not land on the water. Hope you were able to successfully dehook him w/0 getting poked in the eye.
Grab them by the neck close to the head and you can remove a hook safely. Eagles are much harder to get unhooked.

Thanks for that John I flunked Blue-footed Boobies in school. :D It looked like a Frigate. I sometimes can't tell the difference between a Frigate and a Man o war. I am going to Google silhouettes of flying sea birds. I gotta know this stuff. Hey Sal the Tank caught a Blue-footed Boobie. I am taking the Tank down as the clicker does not go on and off easily. Dominick
Hey Wayne,
Chicks dig scars!
I have a similar scar on the bottom of my right ear where a ski released and came up and slapped me in the side of my face.
Looks like a great trip over all.
Dominick, did you need to drop down in leader..to say a 30# floro. To get the blue footed boobie?? Heard they can be really line shy ::)

Hey Wayne,

My sons are calling me scar face!!!!
Had a busy week, will post my photos this weekend, and I will SAVE YOU ALL the worry, NO shirtless Dominick photos! I promise :D
Ear wound is healing nicely, the stitches are clean and dry, no redness or pus pockets.
More later.
Wayne
So, now we have: Il Consigliere and Scarface ...cool :) .

I can attest to that. My friend showed me a video of himself crawling in a King crab pot to 'rescue' a Bald Eagle trapped within, onboard a Bering Sea crabber...
Not a pretty site.
I myself have a lot of experience handling boobies...
I am a marine biologist after all ;)
Great report lads - an adventure for sure!
good stuff lads ;)

I thought Boobies came in pairs?
They usually come in more than pairs. Here's some putting a nice coating on our gear. Notice the apple blocking the fourth from the right and heading for the second from the right.
