East Cape big fish report

Osprey - 9-10-2010 at 07:32 AM

Just learned that yesterday a Mexican fishing in a small tin boat near Los Frailes caught a nice amberjack with a mackerella. 67.5 kilos or just shy of 150 pounds. Think the record is still 155 lbs 10 oz but they have bigger ones spearfishing.

i thought we were supposed to have photos with all fish posts????

The Mexican who caught it doesn't own a camera. Best I can do is try to get a hold of him, see if he'll try to make a sketch of the fish caldo in the bowl. If I can get that I'll scan it but I think we have all seen a bowl of fish soup. Maybe a vote here might be called for.

Okay, okay, I was able to get one snap shot a guy took on the beach of some workers holding the thing up.

Is that what an Amberjacl looks like? I thought they looked more like a yellowtail?

Ah, the elusive oar fish! Mucho tacos de pescado!

56 pound amberjack. Took about 30 minutes. I've had these things on for over an hour before and finally lost them when I got spooled. They really move the kayak! I'd love to see one that's 150.

150lb. Amberjack? That's a back-breaker and a reel-tester for sure. Some real good eating.:yes:
