Isla Trip

Just a short update. Pics to follow.

Went to Isla, had three days booked on the Haphazard. Only got to fish the first but it was worth it. 36 sails, I hooked 9 myself

Also, watched a 500+ pound mako eat a sail like a twinkie. It swam directly behind the stern, like a dang scene from "Jaws." Hated to see the sail eaten but it definitely helped make my decision to swim with a sail release easier.

It was my first time fishing on that boat and I was greatly impressed. Captain Will was on the money all day and his mate, Joey was relentless. Awesome trip.

Sweet, sounds like a great time, any pictures of the Sail getting eaten??? That would have been a sight to see...

cool, is that Joey from the trophy hunter?

The lady with the camera on the boat wasn't too close to the gunnel but she tried to get some pics. They just didn't come out. I was so mad for not having a camera because I was RIGHT on top of that shark.

And yep, that's the same Joey. That is honestly the reason we went and fished. We grew up together and his parents and my parents went too, along with my little brother, who got engaged during the trip. Wow, that's a lot of info.
