Barra de Navidad Mexico Fishing

[Springer]

Going to try to post a You Tube vid we did from January down in Barra Mexico. It was all done with Go-pro so the clarity is not the greatest but you get the idea.
It was the best bang for the Buck , fished out of a Panga and had the time of our life. We caught yellowfin, Dorado, Jack Crevalle ( El Toro) Sailfish and a Huge Blue Marlin. Unfortunately the Marlin got tail wrapped and died so we couldn't release it. So the Marlin came back with us and was enjoyed by us cooked 4 different ways and the small community there..

WOW.... Thanks for the great video.. What was the length of the Marlin?

[Springer]

Thanks, I so regret we never took the good camera with us, was worried about losing it in the water and humidity..Next time I know how we will film out of a Panga.

Anyway the Blue was 8'-10" from bottom of mouth to fork in the tail. It was 12' - 4' from tip of bill to fork in tail..I will post some pics of us with it in the next couple days. cant upload them to photobucket from my work PC.

I wish I had then that I have now about how easy it is to bring back "Fish Parts".. We only brought back 1 Roast and the Bill from the Marlin.
Just wrapped the frozen roast in newspaper and put it in the luggage. 5 Hours later it was in Cold Calgary in the bottom of a Cold airplane.
The Bill I salted and dried out in the Mexican sun ,wrapped it in Newspaper as well. Put it in my suitcase..claimed Fish parts. If theres a next time I will bring more fish back in a cooler.
