A few Pix from La Paz

[Calif. Hunter]

Here is Michael with the first catch of the trip - a skipjack.

Here he is fighting his first dorado, with help from Cap'n Chris Jones -

This is the one he was fighting - also in the picture is my friend's son, Joshua, and Chris.

Here are the boys, each with their first dorado.

This is the first day's catch -

There are more pictures, but I am having trouble with my Kodak Easyshare software and saving pictures to my hard drive... as I get that resolved, I 'll post some more.

Sure can't beat the look on those boy's faces.

Those boys look like they are having a blast. Good job, Dad...

Here are some more -

The biggest dorado. Mikey fought it for about 40 minutes before handing me the pole to land it. You can see how sweaty his hair is. Ignore the SPF 45 smeared all over me...

Mikey, the swabie!

Cap'n Mike!

This is the boat we spent 4 days and nights on - pretty small for 6 people! We were very proud of how well the boys did, no fights, arguments, etc.

Cali, awesome pics!


reminds me of that george strait song:
Dad, this could be the best day of my life.
I've been dreamin' day and night about the fun we'll have.
Just me and you doin' what I've always wanted to.
I'm the luckiest boy alive,
This is the best day of my life.

I've been real busy lately, with our parent company merging with B of A, my involvement with the Scouts (Michael is not a Boy Scout yet), upcoming Friends of the NRA dinner next weekend, pistol matches, etc - so it was really good to psend some realy, intense quality time with Mikey.

I am totally convinced that most of the problems with kids (and ultimately society) today is lack of parental time spent with their kids and lack of parental involvement with their kids' activities.

Cali:

That is some cool stuff. You will never regret taking the time to do that with the boys.

Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing.

Hey, AZ - how is the pregnancy going? Your wife is due in a couple of weeks, right?

I agree that the pics are awesome stuff. Priceless memories rule

Rick,

Excellent pictures. Some day I'll catch some salt water fish. Did you drive down or fly?

I've heard the Dorado are top rate table fare.

Rick
That is really cool, awsum pics too

We flew down - a 2-hour flight from LA. They are my favorite fish for the table - grilled with a little olive oil brushed on and lemon-herb pepper, pan fried with a light batter, marinated overnight and smoked, poached in salsa or baked in foil with lemon, garlic and butter - it's all good!

Looks like a good time was had. Nice job!
