| I took my son Brian deep sea fishing last September. The harbor in Manzanillo had all the fishing charter boats in because the tournaments don't begin until November. We left the dock at false dawn in Vidal's 34footer and he was anxious to put some hours on his two new Cat 500hp engines. We were 12 miles out and had lures in the water by the time the sun was halfway up on the horizon. Once the first fish was hooked Brian (in the photo) brought it in and was all smiles seeing that sailfish dance on the water. Our skipper did not use hooks on the hootchies. They have frayed nylon in the center and that will snarls around the fish's bill when he strikes. The result is that there is no way the fish is gonna throw a hook that isnt there. The fish danced for about 15 minutes and got tired. She was 8'-3' long and was in the boat in about 15 minutes. We went on through the day and brought in one more sailfish about the same size, and hooked two Blue Marlin in excess of 350 lb each. Certainly was the best day I ever had fishing with my son and I hope he gives his children a similar memory some day. Oh, this fish now resides above Brian's fireplace. |
