did a little fishing in Costa Rica

[Ed]

Did a fair bit of drinking, too but no pics of it

Suweet! I caught one about twice that size surf fishing down at Cherry Grove with a cane pole. Is that the stuffed fish they take along for all the touristas to pose with?

So did the inlaws "survive" the fishing trip, if you get my drift......

Yep! ...they even let you drag it behind the boat for a while, to get "action" shots.

Wow nice pics. My daughter worked in Costa Rica for a while and we made a visit to see her there. What a beautiful country. Never did fishing there. Looks like I missed out on some awesome fun. Welcome back. Don

Nice fish!!! I caught one off Marathon in the Keys years ago and I'm still sore!! Bet you are too... Welcome back. Jim

Yep, makes your arms burn... trying to shake off a hand cramp in this pic



We had two going at the same time, you can see them both in mid-jump in the next photo... buggers were a long ways out there, it's a lot o' cranking when you're only gaining a few inches at a time~!!

We got five into the boat (catch and release), and had a couple that hit and got away... best fish of the day was this beauty:

We enjoyed the place a lot, Don. Our villa was maybe three miles north of Jaco, about a mile from the beach and ~400 meters elevation... here's a shot looking north up the Gulf of Nicoya, it's about 2MB so I'll link instead of posting it:

Wow... Now THAT is seriously COOL!
Especially since it was catch and release!
