"Sam", pallor of the face, Only Kotetsu can understand the feeling that seems to be very difficult. A signal to hit the left rod. Assistant Simon skillfully raises the rod. The fisherman is "Stephen". He is struggling to wind the reel with a strong pull.

Caribbean fishing diary

I went to the casino on the other side, but the $ 100 bill was sucked into the hands of the roulette dealer in the meantime. The world is not so good. I am very satisfied with just having a treat of the finest mahi mahi tonight. I am delighted with the fresh taste that remains on my tongue forever.

The ride was a grandfather and grandson from New York, and me and Kotetsu. His grandson Stephen Batro (19) seems to be new to fishing. Did he take medicine because his grandfather Sam (71) is vulnerable to ships. Listen constantly. Recently, Kotetsu's physical condition is in good condition. I have never seen seasickness.

The reserved pickup is at 7:30 am. Heading for fuel refueling after departure. The setup is still bad. "I wish I could do it the day before." Captain "Roy" who doesn't care about such a thing goes to the cockpit.

Stephen who seems to be satisfied with the 15 kg class prey caught. After that, there is no hit. Even my assistant, Simon, fell asleep. We spend a leisurely time in the pleasant Caribbean breeze.

Near the hotel

Stephen

Next to the hotel, in the middle of Caribbean dance. Immediately after getting out of the car, enter the audience circle. I am fascinated by rhythmic dances and outstanding style dancers. There seems to be something good tonight.　

Today's champion Stephen is happy. Even more happy is his grandparents. I'm the same age and I'm in an age when I can understand the feeling of having grandchildren. He tells me to treat me for his grandson today. Impressed again. After the meal, I would like to thank you again for sending me to the hotel by Sam's rental car.

Young Stephen is angry because he has been waiting for a long time. It's been a long time since Mexico to eat with 5 people. Traveling companions who already have a meal on the day they meet for the first time. The real pleasure of traveling is happening. Travel stories, fishing, environmental issues, grandchildren's stories and so on.

After the rod is delivered, we promise a fresh mahi mahi dinner at the restaurant "Turtlo Pier" at the dock. Ten minutes before the appointment, he met him and his wife, Judy. "Grilled mahi mahi and baked potato" sauce is creole sauce and butter.

Finally, I could see the fish. Blue and gold "Mahi-mahi". Sam finally captures the brave figure of his grandson in the camera. After that, he vomits twice and three times without letting go of the bucket.

The toe rolling seemed to be proceeding smoothly, but the wind was strong and the shaking began to increase. When I was expecting a hit in the back seat, there was a person who thrust his face into the bucket with speed.
