After watching your vid it reminded me how tough the whole jack family really is,I,ve caught them all but the amberjack and the trevally,something
about that tail that gives them away.
The last time I saw me in a current pic was scary told my wife I must not have been feeling well that day
Now lets hear about the trip!

Igor...I'm only online using my Verizon wireless card here in the middle of the Redwood Forest, upper northern California..not the greatest signal
strength.
Got bits and piecies of the great video..looking forward to tomorrow when I can find WI-FI in some RV park in Oregon and can watch it's conclusion.
Kudos to you and Alex.
I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.

Yes, they certainly have an impressive tail as seen clearly in this picture I took of one circling under the boat. My vote goes to the jack crevalle,
though. I'm going to post a picture of one on Russ,s thread.
I was kinda hoping to do a report with only pictures this time. I don't have the energy to write.
They were caught at BOLA.

I think this video works well because of it's honesty and intimacy. Basically nobody paid any attention to it and things come out looking genuine.
That's my take on it.
You may be interested in knowing how it came about. This summer Alex has an assignment to read 'The Old Man and the Sea' and construct a 10 min video
having something to do with the book. Well, get this, we came up with doing a film called, ta dah, "The Old Man and the Sea of Cortez". But Alex felt
that the story woudln't be right without a large fish. So when I hooked into this guy I heard him say "I'm gonna get the camera". Otherwise, there
would have been no video.

Thanks much.. and you looked just fine.. in my book..
Plus, you caught the fish.. pretty damn good in my book.. know I could not
Add on it was a school report you guys did together.. just does not get any better..
Except that you did a release... now someone else get the pleasure of a "hookup"..
Hope they to will release.. and let the fish get even bigger and allow many others to catch it..
Thanks very much for sharing a great story with video

Lucky dad. And that's not just humility speaking.
I was lucky enough to know early on that he was the best thing that came along in my life. And I've taken advantage of the opportunity to make it as
best as it could be. Never thought being a dad could be so much fun in life. Well, after two failed marriages something had to break my way.

You mean like this one?
Got this up in the sierras a couple of weeks after the yellowtail adventures.
An underwhelming experience? That would be an understatement.
Still, they are rather pretty ...

Amberjacks and Jack Trevally are tuff fighters. Amberjacks are good eating, but Trevally aren't. Trevally are like big Toros.

It is indeed a brook trout caught at timberline (> 9000'). It was really beautiful up there as the snow melt is late this year and these guys were
right next to the bank looking for bugs coming in.
Rob, after baja we got tremendous headaches up there at that high elevation. We couldn't fall asleep at night and I took Tylenols for 3 straight days
before my brain could adjust to the pressure.
Cypress, some species of trevally are pretty good eating. The resorts at Christmas Island served their guests trevally regularly. Trevally and wahoo
were always on the menu it seemed. Golden trevally I know is a fine eating fish. Follow the link for food quality of trevally.
http://www.australiantropicalfoods.com/index.php/australian-seafood/golden-trevally/
I believe Kira shows records of a few trevally caught in baja.
BTW, there were no fish we had in baja that were as good as pan fried trout from the alpine lakes.
