Biggest Yellowtail of the Year(so far) in Asuncion
Wooooo Hoooo...fishing has sucked the last couple weeks...cold winds, big seas, no fish...even commercial guys got skunked. But seeing as we were
having a big sunday BBQ, we needed some fish so David and Kevin...recent Asuncion residents set out with high hopes.
I got a call from Kevin's cell phone saying we should meet them at the beach with the camera....oh the suspense! By the time I got to the beach there
was already a crowd gathered around the little tin boat so I knew something was up....OMG...oops I'm getting ahead of myself...OK so...this is their
tale....
skipmac was gonna go but forgot to get his fishing license...so Kevin happily replaced him (lesson learned)..so the boys set out in a gorgeous sunrise
and were happy to get into some nice calicos while trolling rapallas by Asuncion Island. But that attracted a big sealion who swam close to the
boat...when...BAM...David thought he hooked the bugger...but he didnt want to lose the nice silver rapalla Kevin had just given him that morning
so he reeled it in and was thrilled when he saw silver come up and realized it was a big yellowtail...that's where the wooooo hoooo part comes in!
This bigboy weighed in at 15 kilos which now makes David the new record holder for 2009...sorry Timo!
You can imagine how thrilled David is about his big fish!...
skipmac was happy to hold the monster anyway!
so gotta go make the sashimi...later amigos...eat your heart out....sorry, that was cruel wasnt it!

Back in the day it was real important to know what a key weighed and if I remember right it was 2.2 pounds: 15 X 2.2 = 33 pounds. However, if anyone
is a good judge of fish flesh it's 4baja so we're left with the assumption that Shari's scale is off???

It really does not matter what the scale says, that fish is gonna weigh at leat 50 pounds by the time David hits the border and by next year it may
even grow past that. As my daddy said, never let the facts get in the way of a good fishing story.

In that little tin boat? The weather must be very good!
Nice work Dave!

I didnt actually witness the weigh in so probably is 28lbs...whatever...it was a nice calm day with a bit of a swell but not a problem...when Dave got
it up to the boat and gaffed it, he was surprised how heavy it was, "a 2 hander" and Kevin was wondering if it would fit in the boat! Needless to say
they are out there again right now looking for a brother YT.

That is a bit frustrating!
I wish I was there with a little tin boat. The weather is so good and the fish so close.
Here it is Monday and I still haven't decided whether I will come down for whale watching next weekend.
I flew my plane on Saturday. It's ready and I am ready. But I don't have anyone else to go and share the cost. So I will probably cancel the
reservation.
That means driving again. And I haven't wrapped my brain all the way around that yet. You know, that 100mph part and all.
And that yellowtail picture isn't making this decision any easier.

It was our pleasure mulegena....yesterday's big boy is now in the smoker.....umm yummm...what was left over from the sashimi that was lovingly
prepared by the junk queen herself(and Kevin)...nancy darling pridham of Galleria Bahia fame...but that is another story...
The party was as usual a combo...a despedida...going away party for Victor and Sandra...and a celebration of finding their dream home here, the start
of a new chapter of their lives...and they sure looked happy (considering they are leaving tomorrow) but not for long...the happy couple are seen
below behind the radiant Nancy. Nomads present were, me, bajadand, ibannie, redmesa, skipmac, jdtrotter and some spineless lurkers!! It was fun for
some new and old nomads to get together....and the food was spectacular.
