Headed to the Rancho

The wife and I along with another couple are headed to Rancho Leonero Aug. 3 - 8. Anybody else going to be down there?

Man, I wish!

Have a great time and take lots of pics!

Next year.....

So    JEALOUS ....it's been tooooo long!

I sure miss that place.  Coincidentally, my wife and I were just talking about how much fun we had Ranch the other night.  She said she was interested in going back.   Almost sounds like a green light to me.  I guess I need work on my long list of honey-doos to build some WAF

I was just looking at the kayak fishing section of the Rancho Leonero site:

... and I noticed they posted the following video that Sean White (aka: Malolo) made from our last epic trip.
FYI ---- That's me, Bob Neal, Sean, and Dan having breakfast on the patio.  That brought back some great memories.  That yellowfin tuna in my avatar was caught at the Ranch on my birthday some years ago .

BTW.... In the video, that's Terry HydroSpider aboard his beloved Wilderness T140 bendo with his first toro.  How could we ever forget his one hour plus long battle.  Although Terry eventually landed it, I'd say the fish kicked his ass and won that fight

Hey Chuck, give me some details about the underwater footage. What kind of camera was used? Waterproof or in a case? I am assuming that the photographer paddled up and then jumped into the water when the fish was on. I would love to get some footage like that.

a little corner of heaven.

15 hours and counting. Sitting in my living room surrounded by fishing gear. Which poles? which spoons. Reels all loaded up with fresh line. Not that I am anxious or anything.

Justin "Aquaman" took that footage with the same camera he uses on many of his spearfishing adventures.  You might want to send him a PM.

Have fun at the Ranch.  We're looking forward to lots of pics!!!
