  1. CTJ addressed it but yeah. That ship has sailed though.
  2. This is me. It started in late January when I was still in Port A. A few weeks later the cough got down in my chest. Took Zpac for 5 days. It went away. About a week later it came back slowly but then got in my chest again. 5 more days of Zpac and it’s been gone ever since. Other than a few days I never felt bad at all. It’s definitely the weirdest cough/illness I’ve ever had.
  3. I’ve got many pictures like that from back then when my grandfather got me into fishing (Dad doesn’t fish). If he only realized then how much money this sport was going to eventually cost me he would have laughed his ass off. In those days we were so happy fishing on the bank, pier, surf, whatever.
  4. Sailfish Tournament today. 3rd place. Oof. It pays 2 places. 2nd tournament in a row we’ve missed the money by 1 fish. Last time it was with 2 minutes to go, this time was maybe worse because we were 5 fish ahead with just over an hour left. Tough fishing today but Rum Runner killed it today with 22 releases. No one else was able to keep up. We’ve been on the fish the previous 3 days - released 27, then 24, then 30 yesterday but unfortunately our fish just weren’t biting today where we had found them the previous days and we ended up with only 14. Video is one of the two blue marlin we caught 2 days ago. Notable because it’s tiny. Maybe barely over 100 pounds. IMG_0439.mov
  5. What kind of fishing are you looking for? I can put you in touch with good charter boats for offshore fishing.
  6. The entire Pacific coast of Costa Rica is financially supported by Americans. They can’t afford to kick us out. But yeah, I am now eligible for CR residency and/or citizenship if I want it. My wife and I will likely start that process soon.
  7. We have a condo under construction in Costa Rica that should be ready before the end of this year. At that time we are planning on spending about 8 months a year in CR and likely selling at least one of our places in Port A. May sell both and buy something in Scottsdale or just basically live in CR full time and do short term rentals when we want/need to go back to the states. Nothing at all to do with politics, just lifestyle choices. The more time we spend out of the U.S. the less we miss it.
  8. I’ve fished a lot of tournaments over the years. Honestly this one is the most fun tournament I’ve ever done. And the girls- wiring fish to hooking their own fish on circle hooks to rigging baits to the party - they can do it all.
  9. Only if Luna is there. Otherwise I’m fine except for elevators. Fuck elevators.
  10. Troph is one of the best people I know on this website. You, however, have turned into a piece of shit. Maybe you always were.
  11. See there’s a bright side to everything. I keep waiting to get dropped . Yet another benefit of being less than 1 year away from living in Costa Rica almost full time.
  12. I’m not sure we will survive without a hurricane forecast months in advance.
  13. Well at least you didn’t put my wife last. All 5 of them clean up very nicely and as a bonus absolutely love fishing. I’ll see if I can find some of the pictures from the awards party.
  14. Fished the Pescadora Lady Angler tournament Friday and Saturday out of our home Marina Pez Vela in Costa Rica. 57 teams competing, max 5 girls per boat. They allow hook and hand where a guy can hook the fish and then hand it to a female to reel in or you can go IGFA rules where the girls hook their own fish and earn bonus points. We chose IGFA even though our girls aren’t nearly as experienced as the other teams here. Day 1 was amazing. We bounced up and down between 1st and 7th place all day, finally holding 2nd place for almost the last 3 hours of the tournament. However with 2 minutes remaining a boat caught a doubleheader sailfish to pass us by one fish and knocking us out of the Day 1 money (only 2 boats get paid). Our girls released 20 sailfish out of 38 bites and 2 blue marlin from 2 bites. an amazing job by our team to finish the day that high on the leaderboard. Day 2 didn’t go nearly as well. We went 11/21 on sailfish and 0/2 on blue marlin and just never found the right spot to fish. We still ended up finishing 17th out of 57 teams, and 7th place of all IGFA teams. The girls were so excited about the result they have decided to become a permanent team, practice fishing here whenever possible and also fishing in Guatemala and entering all the female tournaments they can.
  15. At this point I think we’d just have more losses. This team is poorly coached and miserable to watch.
  16. Not that it matters, but the thing that is killing us in the poll rankings is the opening loss to Ohio State. We were #19 and dropped out. Win that and we are 8-0 and likely ranked around #10 going into the UConn game.
  17. My boat is still in the yard getting work done, but 2 weekends ago in the Rockstar Tournament out of our marina in Quepos, CR the team I’ve fished many tournaments with won what is believed to be the largest payout in the world ever for an all release tournament. My former full time captain and now part time captain plus my current captain and a few friends were on the team. They swept both daily jackpots, all sonar release divisions, and the overall jackpots for a total of 1.16 million dollars. As a side note Michael Jordan brought his boat Catch 23 down for the season and fished the tournament. He won the Day 1 marlin jackpot for 180,000.
  18. Yup. While Onyema has been a mild surprise Shedrick has sucked ass. This team unfortunately just isn’t very good and I don’t think there is anything RT can do about it now. Thankfully if we miss the tournament there is no way we bring him back.
  19. Yeah I mean I guess there is a like a 1% chance they aren’t related, but come on. The Tesla was parked directly in front of the Trump hotel. It exploded with no one in it. It was a bomb.
  20. Doesn’t someone on here have a marketing position open? This guy would be a great addition to that team.
  21. Yes and thankfully I am in Texas right now and not there to see it in person. I’ll go down a few days before they finish and the boat should look as good as it ever did by then. Actually better looking because while we have it in the yard we are doing some paint touch up work and installing an a/c unit for the cockpit. It’s probably a wash. Mechanic price is the same, boatyard labor is cheaper but we had to pay a small fortune in shipping and taxes ro get the engines down to CR.
  22. Merry Xmas to me. One old engine was removed yesterday. The other engine should be out by end of day. Mechanic is taking tomorrow off then installing the new engines that are sitting in a box in the boatyard ready to go. After that it’s just a matter of hooking everything back up and then reinstalling the deck and back window that was cut out. That project starts on the 2nd and should take 3 weeks.
  23. Why are you messing with your spectrum app? Just watch it on the ESPN app.
  24. Too many gaping vaginas on this thread. Texas 34 -10 against whoeverthefuck
  25. Do you accept Best Buy coupons?
