  1. Also, I still forgot to pick up my damn yeti but stole 2 Burnt Endz coozies. And cash. Lots of cash. The bartender at the west side? of the setup was awesome. Matt’s At about 6 tomorrow is anyone is hungry or thirsty for Mexican Martinis.
  2. Just made it briefly after the game because had things to do, but thanks @immamac good time as always. @Nicole44 and @MissingInAction good to see y’all and I know I’ll see y’all soon. @ztejas if you were there after the game I was trying to figure out who you were. I wasn’t there long. I guess I should have asked someone. I just assumed you were the dude that kept falling down but he didn’t react to my muledick callout. Pretty sure he wandered over from another tailgate.
  3. Yup. I’ve been using Southwest for travel to Costa Rica a lot lately. I think 8 flights this year. Zero issues. It’s almost like some people don’t know how to travel.
  4. I’m assuming bow thruster but I don’t know why one would be on a boat that size.
  5. I’m glad she doesn’t care about your well being any of the other time. See you tomorrow. Going to try to stop by before the game but if not will be there after.
  6. This can be interpreted so many ways. im just going to rely on my yettie and ice cold beer. See you tomorrow asshole.
  7. But seriouslyI’m bringing a bunch of bud light and Imperial, any other requests? I’m returning the empty tequila bottles from one of the tailgates last year. They aren’t so much fun when they are empty.
  8. Oh you better be there. @MissingInActionis giving 50 cent lap dances post game. It’s looking like there is no way we will be there in the morning but will camp out after the game until imma kicks us out. Or we run out of beer.
  9. I imagine this will spill over. We are connecting thru Hobby in about 5 hours.
  10. One of the marlin we raised yesterday was on the left teaser and one of my mates was trying to feed it but his bait was jacked up so the fish peeled off and came for my bait on the right pitch. I hooked it and handed the rod over to a friend for her first ever marlin. I’m hoping to get this boat sold soon so told my captain “cool the last ever fish I had on this boat was a marlin” (and I didn’t miss it). I wasn’t planning on trying to hook anything else after that because I wanted it to end on that. But, so Whenever we have about 15 minutes left in the day we take the marlin pitch bait out of the cooler and send it straight down the middle, sort of like a center teaser only we have a hook in it. Captain tells the mates 5 minutes left. A shitty song is playing (my playlist sucks) so I’m fucking around with the remote, find a Cure song and crank the volume. After about 2 minutes of that I decide that’s not the right way to end this so I’m skipping forward and land on ‘Slow Ride’. It’s the 9 minute version but hey this is probably our last trip on this boat so who cares. Song is ending so tell the guys to reel everything in and go home. Bridge teasers are already all the way in. My first mate/second captain is reeling in the marlin pitch bait and I happen to be watching and it absolutely gets destroyed. 3 of us on the bridge all see it happen and think it’s another marlin. Mate tries to get it in free spool and the fish nails it again going away. Massive backlash. But it’s hooked. So now you can’t go forward without breaking it off so the boat is full throttle in reverse. I run down off the bridge to help clear lines, grab the left short and it pops out of the clip the second I pick it up. Oh fuck, now I’m getting bit and we are in reverse which is no bueno to hook a fish. So I start reeling as fast as I can. The other fish we already have hooked jumps and damn it’s a sail but ok let’s get it and also I now know I’m 99% getting another sail bite. We are still full throttle in reverse and the leader is up out of the water. I have no idea what the mates are doing but I’ve got a rod in one hand getting bit and the leader in the other hand trying to keep the fish from going into the right teaser that’s still dangling from the outrigger. Get the release as my captain is spinning the boat and he immediately goes forward and holy shit I’m still hooked up. Get the second fish quick for our first double of the day. For sure one of the most memorable events ever on the boat. Also unless you are familiar with bait and switch billfishing you probably won’t understand any of that. Hopefully someone got it on video.
  11. I’ll get some Saturday. Cindy won’t be with me so I’m going to need photo proof that I’m hanging out with a bunch of loser guys from the internet and not actually at a real party with hot women. No offense @Nicole44
  12. Eh, they caught the marlin jump but it wasn’t as good as I was hoping. They were right by us but also cut him a little slack he was driving the boat and trying to film. Boat looks good in reverse though.
  13. Fucked em up again today. I THINK we got some cool video of a marlin on the line from a boat that was next to us. Anyway, went 1/2 on blues and 12/14 on sails. Blue we missed was a crash blind bite on the long rigger.
  14. Luna drank all the beer again didn’t she? That bitch.
  15. That does not appear to be the same spot as last year but close. Unless my googles is fucked up. See y’all in 8 days.
  16. Here’s how you do a doubleheader sailfish. Filming on the phone with one hand and driving the boat with the other hand.
  17. This is that 65 foot cat I took a picture of the other night when the lighting was bad. That cradle at the stern is usually carrying a jet ski. It’s got outriggers and rod holders. I’ll go stick a sail up on top and then it will be perfect for you.
  18. Fucked em up today. Raised 20 billfish. Back at it Sunday.
  19. The Viking and Hatteras market is dropping fast right now - basically any production boat unless it’s newish say less than 7 or 8 years - it’s an interesting time to be in the boat market. Cocos is supposedly incredible. Never been it’s around 250 or 300 miles offshore if I remember right.
  20. Africa is famous for solving their problems.
  21. @wood @markstanco I somehow fucked up the multi quote ^
  22. He’s wrong about yttv having LHN. its been said repeatedly on this thread and the others, but if you are streaming and want our channel just do Sling. It’s really easy to pause/cancel.
  23. For now it’s not listed but when they do the captain said it’s probably going to be right around a million. Hopefully the market keeps crashing. I didn’t have my phone when I got on it yesterday but I’ll go grab some pics soon.
  24. Yeah so the Rybovich needs to come down A LOT in price. It’s beautiful though. One day . . . And that boat just caught 30 blue marlin on a 2 day trip. Wish we could run out for an overnight on my boat right now but I don’t want to do it while it’s on the market.
