Members: As you know in another post, I fished the WON Tuna Tournament. I also posted a couple of pictures of some Dorado we caught and mentioned catching a Marlin. I did not know the my friend's wife video taped this epic battle. Notice the style is calm and smooth. When you see me resting, the fish is taking line, so there is no reason to crank. You'll also see me crank fast. Those times the fish was coming at the boat or the captain was backing up. There are 3 videos in the first one the person handling the camera had the camera sideways for the first 2:51. You can skip to 2:51 if your neck hurts. The rest of the videos are pretty cool. Enjoy. I'm going back in June 2013, if anyone is interested P.M. me your resume and set an appointment for an interview ;D. Dominick

How did you stay in the boat in the begining of the first viedo? Nice!
What is the reel, it looks like a Avet LX? My only marlin (a striped) was caught on a LX and 40lb line.

Hi Lee: I thought it might confuse you, the camera was sideways not me :D. The reel was a Shimano (Talica?) 15 or 25. I looked but I don't remember. For all I know it could have been an Avet. Dominick
BTW, I did not know that clicking on the videos gets you into all my albums on photobucket. Feel free to browse the albums. Dominick
Now that I have permission I will do so, thanks.
If you wear a straw hat your nose does not have to be white. Nice photos, were the rooster fish from this trip?
Nice fish Dominick, those look like alot of fun to catch. ;D
i enjoyed that ,thanks dom
i clicked on your video to look at your pics,and guess what
up came my photos on the bloody bucket.
WHaaaaaaaaaaa
GREAT FUN, THANKS FOR THE VID.
Great video's Dominick. Well the first one could have been better. ;) It looks like you and the crew did everything right! Bob

Not this trip. I like to make a casual fishing trip on some days. Usually what I do is sleep until I wake up without an alarm or wake-up call (usually 6:30 or so). Sit around and have coffee, go for breakfast then about 9 - 9:30 a.m. go to the marina and meet a panga captain who is grateful for having slept a little late also. Then we go out and fish in the surf from a panga for Jacks and Roosters. We also sometimes get Pargo (Dog Tooth Snapper) in the surf if we fish a spot near some rocks. After a couple of hours we come in have lunch and a couple or three cervesas then it is siesta. This is a great way to live. I do it but I hate early mornings. Dominick

Alan: I don't think so but I am sending the link to some friends that do not have a photobucket account to try it. Dominick

So far I've only been down in the summer and it gets too hot by mid day. I like to get up early, make bait, fish until mid day then head in for something cold to drink. One of these days I'd like to put my ATV in the truck and explore Baja away from the water between fish days but it's hard to not fish due to limited time down there.

I don't go down in the summer because of the heat. I spent July in Saudi Arabia and Cairo I don't want to get that hot again. In the spring the weather is cool in the mornings and hot mid-day and cool in the afternoons into the evenings. The weather really is ideal. Go for it. Dom
Very nice!!! You made it look easy. Thanks for sharing.

Man, you just painted the perfect morning...
WTG there Dominick. I truely love Baja also and will be I'll Be in Puerto Escondido to fish a tourney in late June, after that it is too hot for me also until about mid October when it is like someone flips a switch and the weather is cools again. I go at least once a year, usually twice.
Keta I would say you should definitely take the quad and explore the Baja coast. I love it.

SoCal: Is there more than one Puerto Escondido? I just pulled a map and I see it is on the main land? Dominick

Not SoCal here, but there is also a Puerto Escondido in Baja--not far south of Loreto.
Tom
Yep Tom is right about 15 miles south of Loreto. My pops has a place in Tripui and that is the tourney we will fish. It is the second largest tourney in the Loreto area, #1 is Fishing for the Mission, #2 The Tripui, #3 The Loreto Yellowtail followed by the Vagabondos tournament. The Tripui tourney is all about fun as all money raised goes to to local charities. But, there is a huge amount of tackle raffeled off along with other prizes. Come on down and join the fun. Here is a link to some info about the tournament.

Here is a pic of my father and myself with largest dorado so far I have caught in the tourney, I'm on the far left.

hes a beauty
Wow...that is awesome!
where's the speedo? harryk
How did I miss this?
Nice catch Dominick on light gear.
Talica reel with a terez Rod. Being that was from a couple of years ago, those were probably the better catch of rods.
Very nice catch and sounds like a great trip overall.
Never caught a billfish yet, it's on my lists.
Hey guys thanks for the compliments and revising an old posting. I had forgotten about it. Getting old. Dominick
I just got one of those curved Samsung computer monitors. Watching these on this is amazing.
Ron
Great work Dominick - missed that the first time around.
Thanks for sharing!
Cheers mate, Justin
