Hi tracy,
Just to let you know I had the time of my life today - I caught more fish in one day than ever before and - you're right ... all of your staff is awesome... thanks for everything and congratulations on surrounding yourself with such great people.

Catching a Bull Dorado...with no club...
Please, if you go fishing on Dorado season, double check and make sure you bring the club...
Now if this was on a Pisces boat we'd have the club.

New Record Northern Pike in Canada
Hi anglers,
Our friends Judy and Dale Harkonen from Houghton Minnesota were kind enough to share this with us and we want to share it with you.
This is a new record Northern Pike in Canada . He caught it on Rainy Lake .
Check this thing out.. The man (in the photos below), was fishing and caught a 36" Pike.
As he was reeling it in, a 56" - 55 lb Pike tried to eat it !!!!!
He landed them both in the same net. The last picture is unreal.

Pisces ask our friends and customers to catch and release sharks...
Sharks continue to make a comeback and once again this week we had a couple of threshers, a hammerhead and a mako. We heard of a big 180 lb thresher caught aboard "Retriever", the fish was extremely strong, probably because it was hooked with a circle hook and wasn't feeling much pain. Once boated it was found to be a pregnant female with almost fully developed embryos, two were almost full formed and were taken out of their sacs and began swimming around in the bait tank and were then put into the sea, hopefully to survive.
Sharks are now an endangered specie, we would like to ask our customers and friends to catch and release sharks, just like you do with marlin.
Thank you and best wishes,
Tracy

Caught aboard 61 ft Viking “Retriever” by Martha Walmurut on January 11th
This is about a 180lbs thresher shark which we caught today. We had a live mackerel down deep and the bite was pretty weird, not exactly like a marlin, but that is what was in the area. I never give up a fight, but, after an hour, and a broken back- 40# line, I gave it to Larry. It took another hour: and all three of us, me, Larry, and Omar, fought it before we finally got it up. My back is now officially broken! just kidding.
I am copying this to Tracy because i think this is probably what we had on last week that we broke off after 2 hours or so.
A couple of interesting things:
Look at the hook in the corner of the mouth on the right side. It is a rather small 8/0 circle hook, then look at the mouth and the teeth. Hard to believe that the line did not break - although, the rod did and we had to tie onto another rod to finish the fight. this is a testament that circle hooks do not hurt fish...
Second, look at the size of the tail. it was 52", more than half the size of the body.
Finally, the most interest thing was that when we cut it open, there were a number of almost fully formed babies inside. We kept two. They had the same long tail, teeth were formed, but look at the size of the eyes..
When we took them out of the umbilical sack, they appeared to be dead, but after pictures, we put them in the bait tank and they started swimming around and we finally released them in hopes they will live. Also, there were 3 or 4 more sacs with less developed embryos in the shark.
We never know what wonders we are about to encounter when we leave the dock each morning.
See ya

Around the Globe...
Well you know we are down here in sunny Cabo and you know what type of species we catch, but we think about you all in your different locations over the globe and what you do for fishing when you can’t be here….so we thought this was interesting and wanted to share this with you.
Got Fish!!!! Ontario Fish Story (a big one!)
FYI: This Sturgeon is Still alive , just worn out from the fight.
They turned him loose after the photo.
This Sturgeon was caught at TWO CREEKS CONSERVATION AREA, Wheatley, ON (at Lake Erie ) 11/19/2007
It weighed out at over 1,000 lbs and measured out at 11'1'. It was 56' around the girth and took over 6 and a half hours, and 4 dozen beers, for the 4 guys taking turns at the reeling
it in.
Any Sturgeon OVER five feet has to be released unharmed and cannot be removed from
the water.
They are brood/breeding stock and probably older than most of us.
