Great Looking Tank!
Hey, Doboy, did you catch that fish? I caught a 16lb one when I went out last year. We did a make up charter and me and my dad were the only 2 to show up - full day private charter for about $250. We had about a 150-175lb tuna online - but the darn thing bolted after we gafted it. The thing swam away with our gaft and the captain (no 1st mate) was still holding the remaining grip that pulled off.

Pyro,
Yes, I caught that fish. 2004 La Paz, Mexico. 46 lb. I go every year, and usually try and avoid fishing for Dorado (dolphin on the east coast). Sometimes, they are the only thing going.
I'm leaving for La Paz on June 13th this year. Before I go, I want to install a top-off system and an RO/DI. That way, I only need to ask the neighbor to feed the fish every couple days.
Stuckinfla, congrats on the wahoo. I caught one two years ago. I had just C&R a Striped marlin about 180 lb. The wahoo was around 50, and I thought it was a bigger marlin at first. Them guys are MEAN.
