A bit late but I forgot that I never did my report up from when I went to Mexico last Christmas

here are some pics

Biggest fish of my life on...was blind casting the surf after seeing a monetr fish cruising around...I lost site of him and kept catsing to a few small needle fish and all of a sudden the line just took off as I was strippign in. If it helps that is a 10 wt fly rod in my hand look at the bend...I got spooled afetr about 20 sec Sad

got the pics because my parents were walking up the shore as I caught the fish

down to the last fe feet of backing Sad

here are the rest of my pics of some snook etc...to abd i found the snook hotspot on my last night of the two week trip

small snook but fun none the less

some other random fish throughout my trip

loner rod from a man I met from the UK who I fished with for a week of my trip...I ended up braking my 10 wt on a cuda... 2 handed 12 wt rod but was to heavy with the huge penn fly reel he had on so I put my other 10 wt reel on

colourful little guy

I'll be back again this Christmas for my revenge on the big fish Twisted Evil

counting down the days...gonna pick up a saltwater rod this time though and bring my Mykiss maybe (dont wanna ruin it so i gotta see if it'll be ok first)

hope you liked the pics

Thanks for the report and good pics. Looks like the learning curve was straight up! That's a good thing. You know what they say... once you go salt you never go back. That straight 10 wt. is a testament to that. I had to that with a 5lb jack. Those salty fish are wicked strong. Good trip.
