On our way out for another day of fishing. We entered a fishing tournament for this day. There were 59 boats entered, it sure was a nice day and a lot of fun. Very exciting to see and be part of everyone scrambling to get out of the harbor at the same time.

Our boat Captain's son went along. Not too alert at 7 AM.

All lined up waiting for the starters order to say go.

This was very exciting, everyone jockeying for a better position.

And they are off!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Seemed like boats everywhere.


First fish, a nice Dorado

Not a morning kid.

Coco and Glenn , Glenn showing off his new hair.

Isn't he cute.

John fighting the next fish. It was a nice Marlin.

We were out in the shipping lane, a freighter in the background.

The fight went on for about 25 min. It gave John quite a struggle.


Unfortunately, we did not get good pictures of the Marlin, you can see the head sticking out of the fish box, it wouldn't fit. When we got in, it was already being carved up before we could take pictures. Estimated weight somewhere around 85 lbs.

Some of the winners. Ours was not quite big enough, but we got a hell of a lot of fish in the freezer now.

Well,, only the tail.
John after he pulled in the fish, he was worn out and sweaty.

Freighter passed fairly close to us.

After the weigh in there was a celebration, with a loud banda, beer, and they fed us cerveche.

Amegos, also neighbors at El Parque where we live.
