Mexican Shootout Day 1

We made it Mexico and we were all stiff from the tight seats on United Airlines.  No food served unless you were sitting first class with our friend Jonathan.  Kirby Fukunaga came with us and he sat economy and learned how the rest of the low class passengers fly and got all stiff neck and sore back after 5 hours.  When we arrived I hired a porter and he loaded over 2500 pounds of luggage and tried to make our way through the width of walls by a hair.

We had some donations from our sponsors displayed with items for them to start their trip with including Banana boat sunscreen, bags, jade snacks, kona red drinks, rules, regs., etc.

Today was beautiful and calm with perfect diving conditions.  We had breakfast at 6 am and was ready by 7 am to go.  Boys were anxious to get in the water.  The ride out is about 30 minutes and we were diving by 8 am in the deep blue.

Biggest fish today was this ono!  David speared a 180 lb ahi last week and he got 3 onos today.  This guy is one to watch out for during the tournament.

Kirby got his ono also and we got it all on film.  He was so happy!

Juan also got a ono and cabrilla.  

Eric and Mike got a nice mix of reef fish too.

Lots of fish to clean!  Looks like we got some sashimi for dinner!  Gotta go eat some Mexican dinner now.  Good night.
