This Big!

21/05/11  We went fishing!  We teamed up with four others from our hostel and hired a boat with fishermen.  Early start but nice being out on the water.  Miguel (our captain) sewed some fresh bait onto hooks to try and catch something ginourmous, but no luck.  Some inspiration then lead him to take us to a new spot and we started realing them in!  John was in the size lead for a while, and then Grace smashed it with a Yellow Fin Tuna! Lush :)

Bite!

Nice.

Show em' how it's done gals.

OMG Yellow fin!

Before heading home, the captain's helper guy lept off the boat and body checked a turtle, Lucho Libre style!  So we got to swim with a turtle! Sweeeeeeet :) They thought it was maybe 30-40 years old!


We left most of the catch with our captain, but took the rest to a beach side restaurant where we traded one tuna for the prep and cooking service.  We ate so much fish! Sashimi'd and cooked in all different ways.  Awesome :)
