Just back from our OCT trip to Punta Colorada

Just back last night from our trip to Punta Colorada in Baja's East Cape. Didn't have time to write a full report but I wanted to share a few shots from the trip.
We had great conditions and caught and lost some real good fish including a hook and lost sailfish and BIG TUNA. We did manage to get some real good fish though, including what I think is a kayak fishing record tuna of 70 pounds, hooked, fought and landed from the kayak.
Great Trip and Great Group




















Kayak Fishing record seventy pound Yellowfin Tuna

Jim - Nice pics! How long does it take a Dorado to loose it's color after catching it? Just curious....

Really fast!!   I think right after it dies.

See ya tonight!!  Dave

Damn you Jim! I was all excited to go case 18" stripers Sunday then you have to go and post this.       

Great stuff as usually. Did you get any video?

Pretty fast, though normally they turn dark green, this one turned white then dark. I always try to get a shot real fast out of the water

Yes I did get some good video including some stuff from my new POV camera. It will be a while before I can get around to editing it though. Lot's of things around the house need attention.

Nice fish Jim!  Hope the camera worked out.  If you need any help with editing, let me know.

I think the camera worked out, I only had one day of using it on the water. The mount which I made for it showed up with my luggage three days later than me.
I think it is going to very cool though, once I get a bit more time with it.

We are headed down to the east cape on the 28th and would like to kayak fish while we are there. Are there rentals or someone we can contact prior to our trip to set this up? Any info would be great.

Look at all them, trying to leed us to believe they are enjoying themselves. . And that they wouldn't rather be home doing chores or yard work. humf!

Great pics! Some day, my turn will come. Glad to see you all had a great time!!!!!

Beautiful - Just beautiful... how long did it take to boat that big frickin' tuna?

John

He landed the fish in about 45 minutes as I recall, on an old Penn 500 with 30 test.
