Just back from Cabo on Sunday night. We fished 4 days on the Fly Hooker.

Day 1 (9/26/2005) We only caught 3 skipjack tuna and a small 12 pound dorado. No pictures from that trip.
Day 2 (9/27/2005) we landed 2 Striped Marlin, including my 1st that I hooked and landed on my own set up-a Shimano TLD 20 with 30 pound test on a Tallus rod and a live bait, and 5 yellowfin tuna, including my biggest to date.
Now I know it is not a great idea to take a billfish out of the water, but it was my 1st ever and I swear this Striper went right back in after a quick picture, was quickly revived and looked good as he swam away. But bash away if you must.
Day 3 (9/29/2005) we were skunked. I fought a Striped Marlin that looked to be around 125 pounds for about 10 minutes but he surfaced, shook his head and threw the lure.
Day 4 (10/3/2005) I caught an estimated 250 pound Blue Marlin that was tagged and released at boatside after a 22 minute fight. We forgot, in the excitement of the whole 1st Marlin thing, to tag the 2 Stripers.
Bad picture of the Blue. My wife was not quite agressive enough to get in there with the camera and I was more concerned with seeing the fish and making sure that tag went in properly. It was an awesome experience catching that fish and watching it swim away.
We ate some great dinners down there too. This was Casa Dorado
Cabo Rey sunset cruise
Great time in Cabo. It was HOT and we saw rain for the 1st time there on 9/30 as a hurricane passed through. The seas were really BIG on 9/26 and 9/27. You may be able to tell from the pictures. We also found 2 great restaurants, Mi Casa and La Casa Country. The Office was great for breakfast on the beach and Manuel and Kiko on the Fly Hooker did a great job for us.
