Monster fish stories
I would like to start a new thread about the Baja big ones that.... didn't get away. Let's start this off from a blog posting on the new Posada
Concepcion website contributed by Dieter Reese, long time Posada area resident. This fish story will be hard to top, but let's see what true tall
tales will follow......Dieter's monster fish story at: http://www.posadaconcepcion.net/blog.html

Where, when, and what about that tail in the foreground? Huge fish are part of Baja legacy. The world awaits!

Not a very good picture when you zoom in on it but it was taken from pretty far away......dt
I posted this before going to the web site and reading the story. I didn't realize that I was supposed to tell the story too but here goes:
I saw some big bait jumping out of the water about 20 feet from shore so I cast out and this guy slammed my lure so I reeled him in........
Not as good as the story about the dog snapper but it's all I got.......dt

A group of 4 went out with Fishermen's Fleet in La Paz, fishing out of La Ventana in May of 09. My son, pictured here with me, was
on another panga and had gotten skunked for two days. I asked him to go out with me the next day but he was pretty bummed since everyone else was on
the scorecard and didn't want to go. I practically forced him to go out with me. As you can see from the picture it finally paid off for him and he
got a personal best dorado. Actually we got three that day. They were "almost" identical. He bagged two and I got one. (Of course mine was just
slightly the largest)

Was out fishing off of San Nicholas one day using my Strong Rod, 125 Lb. Line and a Salas Jig. Hooked on to a Big something which turned out to be a
800 Lb Shark. Too big to get in the panga so tied it a long side and went into San Nicholas where the Village Women Fileted it out, Meat was sold and
went to mexico City for Fish Tacos.
I still have the Jaw with Teeth hanging on my Office Wall at Home here.
Pictures of the Teeth can be sent via email.

A little different fish but large neverless and right off my dock 
Anyone can catch fish in a boat but only \"El Pescador Grande\" can get them from the beach.
I hope when my time comes the old man will let me bring my rod and the water will be warm and clear.
