My wife wanted to go to Lapaz, I said sounds good, could we go fishing. So we stayed a hotel (since closed down) right across the street from the water and books some days with Baja Pirates. When we got back to Seattle, we were on the parking lot shuttle and the lady next to us asked her friend asked her why there were so many people with coolers in the airport. She replied, "we were in the Alaska Airlines concourse, they're fishermen coming back for lodges in Alaska" then she noticed our cooler and asked us what we had, we told her marlin and dorado. She asked us if we were going to smoke any of the marlin. 2 days later when I went back to work (HVAC tech) when I went to my first customer, it was the lady from the parking shuttle, so she called her brother in law and got the recipe for smoking marlin, it was good.

nice pictures Seaeagle, did you guys get back in the boat afterward to take pictures or did the crew really keep the boat that neat? Very nice, thanks for sharing.
Both, the fish went into a well until the end of the day. We beached a couple miles from the marina and they cleaned the fish. They had a washdown pump on the boat. But the boat was kept clean, I have to say of the several guided fishing trips I've been on from Salmon fishing on Vancouver Island, to Striper fishing in Northern California, this guy was the best, most focused, fishiest guide I've used. He just knew where the fish would be, and every day when we were running home, he's stop and check out paddies and stuff for the next day's fishing.... The boat was a fairly new to them Defiance, made here in the Northwest, in fact I had actually taken a tour of the plant one time and the prototype of that model was just being laid up..They kept the boat very clean, and it was a very first class, professional outfit as far as I'm concerned.
