"CHEESE!!

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness." Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776

Baja Dorado

Ok, I admit to being notoriously bad about sharing my vacation photos. I am now a full year behind, having shared no pics from our trip to Cabo San Lucas.

However Steve at Hog on Ice is showing off some photos of a nice catch of dorado his friend Pat hauled in. He comments that they seem unusually large to him. Compared to the dorado that Daisycat and I caught, those didn't seem that impressive. If they were, then I am realizing what a great day of fishing we had, even if I didn't fully appreciate it at the time. See the only other sportfishing I've done is for triggerfish and seabass in the Sea of Cortez. I don't fish that much, and Daisycat enjoys it just because it's fun.

Anyway, here's a few pics:

Reel 'em in!

Big dorado!

Did I mention how BLUE the water is in the subtropical Pacific? Yow!

In all, I think we pulled in 6 or 8 dorado between the two of us. Most of them were at least as big as the one Daisycat is holding, and a couple more were as big as the one the guide is holding for me.

Dorado are an incredibly tasty fish! Unfortunately some of our haul got freezer burn before we could finish eating it, and Daisycat recently tossed a good many of the packages. I was quite disappointed...

But we gave away over half the catch before we flew home, so it is some comfort to know that most of it was eaten by someone.
