next up, 40 pounds plus... all thanks to Juan Carlos for hand lining this brute after my Penn jigmaster exploded due to too many over grown fish!

Paul Boe, the fish whisperer in action. Paul and his lovely bride Shelley were our daily fishing friends and neighbors.

Oh My Gawd...What are those things in his hands? I hope he's throwing them away in some kind of Tuna Killer ritual.

required breakfast stop on the northbound run. happy to report that Sr. Jose is keeping the family tradition alive. he asks you to bring your fotos of Carmelita to cover his walls, shrine like, as a tribute to a great woman.

yes Dennis, he was throwing them... throwing them back! we were worried that with the full moon that the fish would be feeding at night and not be hungry. Paul had an idea to coax them up!

here's how we roll!

Looks like you had a great trip, Woody. Time to start getting ready for the next one.

BajaWarrior - 11-6-2009 at 07:02 PM

Woody, glad you had a blast! Great time of year to go to BA. What do you think the water temp was?

woody with a view - 11-6-2009 at 07:06 PM

skinny dipping temps were +/- 76. about as warm as OB EVER gets but the air temps were about low 80's so it was nice.... offshore, i dunno.

elgatoloco - 11-6-2009 at 08:18 PM

Way cool Woody and Bia! Thanks for sharing the pix.

DianaT - 11-8-2009 at 08:43 AM

Enjoyed your photos---especially of Bia fishing.

Sorry your boards could not be fixed until you returned---maybe next time you can fish and surf.

Good times

I was wondering if you were going to venture a fewhours away for some potentially epic surf.

Sounds like you scored. Good on ya!
