8 Striped Marlin!

Hey there, definitely 92F today, very very hot day but still it's way better than having cool weather here in Cabo!

Before I begin off with the fish report I want to wish Ryan Donovan a Happy Birthday, today he's out in the water with a group of friends just chillin and having a good time. I'll see that he posts *some pics of his awesome theme birthday bash! Happy birthday bro!

So today was an awesome day 8 Striped Marlin in total. All our boats caught Marlin, some were released most of them except 1 which unfortunately had to be landed because it was too hurt.

First group is CCA member Spencer Falls who fished today on Nuevo with Captain Alex and Mate Manuel. This group caught and released a total of 3 Striped Marlin which weighed 120, 140 and 170 Lbs! nice job. Spencer will be fishing again tomorrow, same boat, same crew and we hope he does as good as he did today.

From Chicago and San Francisco we had Nick DeDomonic and his party of 12 fishing on RedRum and Mucho Loco.

The guys on RedRum caught and releasde a 70 Lbs Striped Marlin. Not a big one but still they had a great time in the water and were stoaked with their catch!

Mucho Loco is still not back, but I hear they also had a marlin, let's see and will post the info!

Scott Jones and his group of 10 also fished on two boats today. One of the groups fished on RumRunnin with captain Javier and Mate Jesus. They caught 2 striped Marlin. One of them was 150 Lbs and was 101 inches. These guys were extremely happy when they came back to the office, and who wouldn't after such a great day!

On Tantrum with CAptain Ramon and Mate Juan the other group also landed 2 Striped Marlin the biggest one being 108inches and weighed 150 Lbs! Not bad either. Congratulations to both groups for their awesome day in the water. Time to celebrate with some cold beers to make up for this hot day.

Thanks for reading.

Mara's Team: Cabo San Lucas

Today in Waupaca, Wisconsin, hundreds of friends and family are gathering for a walk in honor of Mara Stange. Mara's father, Mark, is a long-time friend and customer of ours and this years has been a tiring one. Mark's daughter, after many Doctor visits and tests, was diagnosed with a bran tumor called Pediatric Low Grade Astrocytoma or "PLGA.

Unfortunately, there is no cure for this type of cancer and the treatments that do exist are outdated, toxic and ultimately toturous to the thousands of kids affected. Bran tumors are the # 1 cause of cancer death in children, and the #2 overall cause of childhood death behind accidents. PLGA's are the most common type of childhood brain tumor, yet sadly, funding and research for better treatments and an eventual cure lad dramatically behind other cancers.

Mara is a tough little 7 year old who is going about her life as best as she can, and while she knows that she is sick, her parents have decided not to give her all the horrifying details. Some children live with the condition for a few years, others for a few months.

While we couldn't be in Waupaca today to join Mark and the hundreds of friends and family that have joined the walk, we are supporting him as best as we can with the pink t-shirts you see our crew wearing today. Give thanks for your health, and say a small prayer for a darling little girl.
