Hooked the first snook I'd ever seen yesterday and lost it at the kayak. Figured I'd never see another one....till this morning! 16 pounds.

Nice robalo! Congratulations and good job from the kayak.

Don't see those down here in Los Barriles... where did you catch that one.. what did you catch that one on(lure, light tackle??)... I hear they are
great fighters...

Nice fish cleaning table!

South of Los Frailes about 40 feet from shore. Trolling a Rapala kind of thing. It pulled pretty hard for 5 minutes but I had my Pargo/tuna winch on.
I'm going to use something smaller tomorrow...that's when I usually get the Pargo, never fails. The fish cleaning table was my first concrete try!
Ugly but sure works better than being hunched over an ice chest! Custom drain into a 5 gallon bucket!

Speaking of famous snook photos... Ray Cannon in Rio Mulege, with this controversial photo...

Nice fish, and so good to eat.

That's a mighty fine fish. You must have been stoked!

'Tis the season of the robalo. Here is a photo of East Cape resident Ken Alexander with one of several caught fishing north in the estero a couple of
weeks ago with Lopez Mateos Captain Ruben Duran. Ruben is back at the scene of the crime today looking for more.

WOW!
Bill,
Do you know what size tackle he used to land that one?
bill erhardt - 12-9-2009 at 09:23 AM
Ken.......I know that they were baiting with live shrimp and using light tackle, but don't know exactly what.
maspacifico - 12-9-2009 at 01:45 PM
That's a sweet one! A girl caught one off the beach here last year about that size, maybe a little bigger. I've been skunked the last two days. Guess
they aren't here all the time!

Sweet, haven't caught one of those since I was a kid fishing with my uncle (Whose nickname was "Fish") in the channel between Sanibel and Captiva
islands off Ft. Myers FL. Never got one that big but the ones we did get were spectacular fighters making beautiful leaps.
On the same trip, my uncle landed a six foot gator! He hooked a ladyfish, the gator glommed onto it and wouldn't let go. So uncle Fish played him
onto the beach with 20# line.
