You Are Screwed Now!!!!!! Your life is NEVER going to be the same. Get ready to spend twice the fuel, twice the $$$ on gear, twice the time on the water. Trying to get em again and again and again. Shit, I even left the country chasing Billfish and Surf!

Enjoy your new "Blue Life"

Good Job!!! Sounds like a GREAT day.

SOUNDS LIKE YOU HAD QUITE THE DAY THERE DUDE! DID THEY SEND YOU SWIMMING?

[thoffman]

thanks all, I escaped the swim, I jumped off the boat and ran to get the trailer, I am kinda sorry I didn't take part in the tradition though. I can tell that I am ruined now, but hopefully the wahoo bite out of morehead will get my attention on some meat fish again.

See? I told ya ya shouldna done it! Why, looka dat CostaRica guy...got it so bad he just had to move to dat Costa Rica place wit dem nasty, lousy peoples, an monkeys whut sounds like lions, an BIRD EATING SPIDERS (yaaarrrgh!), an dem poisonous brown snakes, jaguaries, eguaners, a rainy season, croculgators an all sortsa other stuff...an they actually have an earthquake season!!!

All for some excellent blue marlin fishing, tons of sails, some black ones, big tooners, gagillion dorodos, roosters on the beach, big azzed snooks in the rios and bocas, jiigundus pargos, wonderful, well educated, friendly locals, including some beautiful wimmens, incredible scenary, great beaches and surf and more.

Yah, dem blue marlins kin really mess ya up, uh huh!

Poor Costa Rica guy!

Several very memorable moments on Tuesday


The three white ones behind the boat eating the teasers and we couldn't get a hook in any of them

The blue one that ate the flatline that I fed three times before we finally stuck the hook in...would have loved to see how big he actually was.... but most memorable was Thom finally getting his blue one that he wanted so bad...and to think he didn't even want to fly the flag as we were pulling into the marina


Congrats again Thom, your fishing has come a long way.
