Hello all. We had to try the squid one and for all, so we went on a twilight thursday night on the Coroloma. The captain was on the virge of not
going due to the wind, and now I wouldn't blame him. Now I don't really want to go squid fishing for another 10 years or so :lol: . Here's the pics.

The Boat

The Conditions and me. ( I was yawning

I couldnt get a bite to save my life and nor could my dad. So the deckhand hooked one for me. Heres me going bendo.
You can see it's giving me a pretty hard time. I got soaked 3 times while fighting it.

He measured 13.49 lbs. Not bad, but that thing fought like a 30lber. :roll:

This trip partially happened because it was my dad's birthday on the 5th.

Nice pics. WTG on your first humbolt.

That boat looks very roomy.
