Ryan's Dorado

Guys - I wanted to give a big 'thank you' to you for the GREAT fishing trip my wife Erica and I had with Omar, Manuel and you all on September 7th. In the end, we caught 4 nice tuna, 2 nice dorado, a striped marlin about 125 lbs and a 90-100 lb sailfish (96 inches).

At one point we had 5 lines hooked up with tuna and being that there was only myself, Erica and Manuel to grab the rods, we would have had even more. The billfish experience was incredible. I had been bummed that we lost our first hookup and then the crazy action came. We had both billfish hooked up at the same time! Erica had not really even planned to fish too much but as I was reeling in the sailfish, she was forced into fighting the marlin! We released the marlin, but the crew had felt the sailfish was too damaged in the gill so we kept it and it is being mounted in my rec room at home!

Anyway, I wanted to say thanks and let you know we will definitely be back with you again in the future. All my friends are very jealous of the trip I had and I will recommend you to all I know. I think my buddies are going to force me to take them along next time! I have attached a few pictures, but we really didn't have enough hands to catch fish and take pictures at the same time!
