Mega Marlin

Mexrick - 8-7-2009 at 04:32 PM

a 1000+ pound marlin was just caught on the east coast during a fishing tournament. Don't know more than that.

N2Baja - 8-7-2009 at 06:31 PM

Wow!! Just think of all the fish taco's that will make!

Farbauti - 8-7-2009 at 06:55 PM

That marlin has been all over the news. Said to be worth over a half-million dollars to the angler.

Skeet/Loreto - 8-8-2009 at 02:48 PM

Mexrick: I have just reported your Avatar as being Offensive. I would like to see it taken away.
Just wanted you to know who made the report.

Skeet/Loreto

Sallysouth - 8-8-2009 at 04:58 PM

Skeet, What exactly is offensive about Mexricks' avatar?

TheColoradoDude - 8-8-2009 at 05:32 PM

Here is the story.

Sallysouth....don't question people when they are off their meds......he thinks it's a Smurf. And, Sallysouth, why isn't that kid nekkid in the water? Mine was till he was three.

ColoradoDude......what is that avatar? Is that a Rorschach test?

It simply means that all of the line, tackle, and gear must break at less than 80 lbs. It is an International Game Fish Association line class. They can use a specified length of leader which can test significantly higher at like 250-300 lbs.
If the fish is submitted for a record to the IGFA, then all of the gear must be submitted and tested to make sure that it becomes approved. If it is not submitted, then it is just a statement of the approximate line test with matching rod and reel.

That is one lucky sea lion that hangs out in the Ensenada Harbor accepting leftovers!

Sallysouth - 8-8-2009 at 10:52 PM

Ya know colorado dude, I am a bit confused as to why you included my username in your quote.I repspect Skeet and and really would to know why mexricks avatar is offensive to him.

Skeet/Loreto - 8-9-2009 at 06:30 AM

To All those Questions"

To me the avatar is offensive as the first thing you see is "Kiss my Ass" when you open the Thread. It would be the same as turned around and a guy shaking his Dong saying"Suck my !'

Now Sallys little boy is a complete different thing as it tells an innocent story of a little boy taking a Pee.

Is it not an insult to the viewer when they get Shined??

Maybe you're just joking around about being offended. But if a grown man of your age and experience gets his panties in a wad about an avatar...Well, that's simply pathetic. Buck up old timer.

Skeet/Loreto - 8-9-2009 at 06:50 AM

Cardon Man:

Guess it is the Generation Gap"
Just have trouble seeing all these Young Punks" walking around Showing their Ass as if they think everyone wants to see it

Would love to have a BB Gun Sometime when they start shining People Off!.

Cardon Man - 8-9-2009 at 07:06 AM

so many young punks...so little time.

Farbauti - 8-9-2009 at 07:19 AM

Thanks, Skeet/Loreto...we were offended by that avatar, too.

Squid's remark about being racist is perhaps a mistaken one. I believe she is referring to her husband's replacement avatar which is the Mexican flag. Got a little confusing here and there, I expect.

What all this has to do with a record marlin is beyond me. I would not kill a marlin...catch and release with a beacon tag gets a big yes.

Skeet/Loreto - 8-9-2009 at 08:30 AM

Me too on the Marlin> The only way to eat Marlin is smoked by a Mexicano who knows what he is doing.

I hooked many marlin in my years on the Cortez never put one in the Boat..
Now A Theasher Shark is a different Story.

Skeet/Loreto - 8-9-2009 at 08:33 AM

Mesrick:

Thank you for a Great avatar,

There is another confusion: The guy w/ the avatar IS NOT MY HUSBAND.
And: Am I missing something? I see an avatar which is a comic drawing waving a Mexican flag.
Did Skeet maybe want that the flag should be a US flag???? rediciously if so. I really hope I'm wrong.

On the Marlin: Well Skeet, 555,000 USD might change your mind about the Marlin. You would be the first American who is not interersted in $$$$$ (And Mexicans alike)
Now answer and be honest.

castaway$ - 8-10-2009 at 11:23 AM

Unless the Avatar has just been changed I'm not seeing, a little round guy waving a flag, not seeing the Burro reffered to or the suck you implied I guess one of us is to old to see whats really there!

Yea, it is funny. My hubby now gave me some advice about fish and the sport. Tackle is what's above water > the line and , well, the hook also, the reel etc. An what's under the water on the hook is the bait.
Is a female not going out to fish alowed to make such a mix-up????
(My hubby recommended first to ask him, then posting about fishing. Very good idea!) :lol:

Skeet/Loreto - 8-10-2009 at 01:09 PM

When I opened the Thread, the Avatar was of a guy pulling his pants down and showing his Butt. Bent over and flashing directly at me!

He changed it real fast.

BajaNuts - 8-10-2009 at 06:11 PM

thanks for explaining, skeet-

Hey Squid,
don't feel so bad. When I heard 80# tackle, I thought the weights and line and everything weighed 80#, cuz i figured they would have to be using steel monofilament to get that sucker in!

:lol:

ps welcome!

Hola BajaNuts,

This is what I really want to point out: You are the first one saying Welcome.
Thanks for it.
On many other threads I tried to edjucate some folks here. Not that I'm a teacher, but some folks made some serious mistakes (owning a home without FM-# etc) and they are defenately at the brink to be kicked out of Mexico. Again, I'm not a teacher but would hate to see somebody loosing a home and such.
But as a result of all those bad words and attacks "below the beltline" I decided to stop to post my knowledge in BajaNomad.
Well, my hubby told me (he posted in BajaNomad some years ago and quit) when I signed up: " You will easily learn that most of the Nomads are lowbrainers or jerks or alcoholics ar anything combined, not worth to start a serious discussion with those guys as they never will comprehend anything they don't like."
(Plerase notice, I said 'most' > not all!!!)

Therefore and espacially to you:"Thanks again for the Welcome.

dtbushpilot - 8-10-2009 at 09:04 PM

Your husband is right squid, there are a few jerks on this forum. Sometimes it seems as though they post more than the "real" Nomads, those who "get it" and are here to help out when someone needs advise.

Most of us are helpful but we have a "real job or life" and can't always be there for the newbie needing advise. Give us a chance, ignore the drivel, don't let a few sourpusses chase you away.

BTW, welcome to Nomads, most of us are here to help.....dt

Skeet/Loreto - 8-11-2009 at 09:33 AM

Squid: He is right! There are a few Nuts on this Board., I will hope that you can do the following:

Don't say the Sea of Cortez is ruined!
Don't beleive any thing that Mr. Bill Posts.!
Don't be Mean to Bajalera!

The sea of Cortez is ruined somehow - or do you want to say that fishing is as good as 20 years ago ???
If so, you must be nuts!
