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.

I didn't have the nerve to try eating mine. They felt like cabezone and cabezone are the best tasting we have here up north.
I caught more bastards this trip than all of the 64 years put together. I don't know if that's a good thing or not.
We also caught scorpionfish which experienced baja aficionados rate at the very top.
No, we were perfectly happy with leopard grouper fish tacos.

Just from the looks of those things, I think I would have tossed it back and moved the boat to a new spot.

I am surprised that Alex did not give you all the pertinent information from the Baja Catch like he used to do with me when he was a whopping 5 years
old. The relatives are Pabellon which are yellow and brightly colored in the mouth with a hinged jaw. They all lie partially buried in the sand and
ambush small fish, or larger fish with their large mouths, and hold the prey until they quit. They are ok if cooked properly but have never really
been one of my favorites until I brought about a half a dozen to an old woman in the village who made me the best fish soup I have ever had.

Igor, bigmouth bastards are quite good if you toss them in the pot with a mud hen, a heron, an owl, and a sopelote.
Melts in your mouth, melts in the gullet, melts in your stomach, and just keeps melting on it's way south...
I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.

He outfished me on this trip, Jim. He now climbs out there with a wetsuit. By reaching those sharp dropoffs at the points he's able to get some pretty
decent leopard groupers. It was too windy this day to launch to boat, but we still had fish tacos.

I know that. That's what they call them in LA Bay (and other places).
