Shandi Weeks, pictured above from Paso Robles CA went at it for an entire week trying to get a big fish. On her 4th day, she finally nailed it with a huge 50-pound class bull dorado...the largest in weeks...that was longer than she is tall! Shandi was fishing with live bait with our Tailhunter La Paz fleet. During the battle, the fish snapped her fishing rod when it got close to the panga and sped off on another blazing run. She still got the fish!

Our good amigo, Scott McKenzie, Photo #1 from Seattle WA fishes with us several times a year over many years and had never put a trophy roosterfish in the boat until this week...at a time when when we normally don't see many roosters! Scott caught this big one off Las Arenas and released the fish after the photo op!

Bill Lee, Photo #2 is from the San Francisco Bay area and shows off some great colors on this bull dorado taken fishing off Las Arenas.

First timer, Michele Edwards, Photo #3 from Loma Rica CA celebrated her 25th anniversary by fishing an entire week with us and did some great action with dorado like this one as well as several billfish.

Folks come to fish with us for years and never get a shot at one of our famous roosterfish! Mi primo and his wife, Tim and Taylor Torres, Photo #4 were fishing with us this past week for the first time and got 2 nice roosters that they caught and released. Nearby, you can see the cliffs of Punta Perrico near Las Arenas.

Another of our great gals who came to fish with us this week, Michele Conklin, Photo #5 from Washington State was celebrating her retirement and fished with Captain Jorge near Las Arenas and shows off the great colors on a "tiger" bull dorado caught just off the beach.

Double haul dorado for Brian Benson, Photo #6 with a pair taken north of La Paz with our Tailhunter La Paz fleet.

Another of our amigas from Washington in the house! Dan Hicks, her husband, fished the day before and Lisa, Photo #7 didn't have a chance, so Dan told her he'd watch their little boy Sammy back and the hotel so she could go fishing alone! She did well with dorado like this one! Bravo to both of them on the tag-team fishing!

Big smile from Dave Conklin, Photo #8 who put this fresh one in the boat fishing with Captain Jorge just outside of Bahia de Los Muertos. Dave's from Washington state and was on his first trip with us.

Cradling a big trophy roosterfish, Jan Jacobs, Photo #9 took this big boy just off Punta Perrico and quickly released it. Great fish! We caught several of these big ones this week with pretty much all of them being released.

Good day and a good start for Tim and Taylor Torres, Photo #10 from Las Vegas who put these nice mahi in the box to take home. First timers and first day fishing! They also released a pair of 40-50 pound roosters!

Oops...one that didn't make it. John McLucas, Photo #11 holds up what's left of his dorado after a sealion decided to get a free lunch.

Another bull in the box from James Edwards, Photo #12 who was fishing off Las Arenas with us for the week. James is from northern California.

Parting shot...with Jeff Brown, Photo #13 from Oregon...and a giant squid with Captain Jorge. After about 6 weeks of having the giant squid around for bait and for eating...it looks like the squid are finally gone. It was great to have them and great fun.
