Monday's update

Joe Gaar and his wife April are down visiting from Louisiana and after catching a Marlin on his last trip, it was April's turn. The Gaar's had a great day with Alex and Ramon on El Nuevo and while originally scheduled for a half day, they were having too much fun and decided to stay out for the full day once they were into the action. After hooking up with a Striped Marlin briefly in the beginning of the trip, then catching 4 Yellowfin and a Dorado, April's turn finally came. Ramon pitched the right bait to the right fish and her battle was on. 35 minutes later, after a successful catch and release, April earned her Marlin flag. Congrats April, and come back and see us soon.

Next up was Kyra Williams and Ryan Covino from Boston, Mass. Kyra and Ryan were all about getting out for a day on the water and hopefully chasing some Billfish. While the Billfish didn't cooperate, Javier and Manuel did put them on the fish today. Kyra and Ryan finished up with 6 Yellowfin Tuna and 1 Dorado which they enjoyed over at Mango Cantina with the crew of Rum Runnin. Next up, was Wild Canyon Zip Line Park and Dune Buggy's with Wide Open.

Finally, our good friend from Cabo Kaye Peters and her Dad Jerry, Stepmom Jona and Sister Cordelia headed out with Omar and Juan aboard ReelRum. Jerry has always wanted to catch and Billfish and while they put in the time today, they couldn't get one to bite. As soon as they switched gears, and opened the first beers, they were into the Dorado. Finishing up with 4 Dorado, which they were nice enough to share with us at Missiones de Kino, Jerry will have to wait until Wednesday to try to catch the elusive Marlin.

Sunday's Report

Trista Bolinger, Justin Lewis, and Carrington Brown, all from TCU and Lindsay Brown, Carrington's wife, headed out with the boys on Rum Runnin for a half day of fishing today. They hooked into a Marlin which spit the hook after only a few minutes, and Carrington fought a nice Wahoo all the way to the boat, before it too spit the hook and got away at the last second. I guess it wasn't in the cards for these guys today, Fish 2 Clients 0. Next time guys, that's why they call it fishing. Nice to see some familiar faces from school though, hope to see you back in Cabo soon.

Heather and James Graham shared a boat with Donovan Rittenbach today and they had a great day. They pulled in 3 nice sized Yellowfin and a Mako shark, and Donovan went to battle with a monster. For nearly 2.5 hours, Donovan pulled on a giant Yellowfin Tuna. Americo the mate who pitched bait, said the fish left a hole in the water the size of a VW Bug when it took the live bait offering. Rigged with 50lb test, the pitch bait rod turned out to be no match for this monster that Omar and Americo estimated at well over 200lbs. Way to get after it Donovan, I think you may need to join a few other Donovan's this year in defense of our 1st Place finish in the Los Cabos Tuna Jackpot last year.

Daren Gann, along with friends Karen Carrington, Cary Carrington, John Harrell, Marlene Feroni, and Matthew Judy joined Fabian and Marshall aboard the RedBeam today. Daren kept his hot streak going and everyone got to spend ample time on the rod and reel. When it was said and done, they had 14 Dorado to show for their day on the water. Great stuff Daren, enjoy the filets.
