East Cape Report
Again, I'm pretty pressed for time so this will be a shortened version...
My drama - TSA (I think the A stands for assholes) broke 2 of my 4 rods while inspecting them. I found them and their tips taped to the foam inside the bazooka tube. Kinda put a damper on the trip, but we just made due without them. Fishing over was kinda slow as Jim mentioned... I was not on the trip with Jim. We stayed in Buena Vista just 5 minutes South of Los Barriles. I was able to land 2 15lb tuna on day one, one 50ish on day two and 1 more 15lb on day 3. The 50lber on day two was taken on my avet sx on 50lb izor topped with 20lb fluorocarbon. I fought that fish for a little over an hour... Black hat = Fish - right JP?

I would gladly snap a few rods in half to have that experience. The combination of great fishing, adventure in Baja and sharing that with your father is priceless. Good report. Thanks

You da' man...
I don't think it's the hat, Nic---you can fish! A fifty pound YFT will completely kick your ass on 20 lb fluorocarbon. With those little teeth and their speed, you've got your hands full. That's a trophy in my book, bro. Well done!
This is the biggest catch of all, though. What I would do to be able to share fishing with my father. Epic photo .
