Good video, it made me feel like I was right back there again. Thanks for the mental vacation.

Thanks fellas. Mr. NiceGuy, I can honestly say I've never felt nervous or scared while down there. It was nice to see other Americans vacationing there with their children, and couples enjoying their anniversary. It's also nice to be traveling with a few fellas who have been down there enough times to know the 'do's and don'ts'. There is an array of species to target and plenty of time to just relax and chill out with a margarita. Haha... Hopefully you make it down there someday.

Thanks for putting together the awesome video, Mike. I had a blast meeting you and hanging out. Too bad we couldn't get that last whale shark on the go pro. I learned a lot on this trip, including the need to take a higher quality fly reel to battle those brutes. My White River fly reel from BassPro finally blew up on the twelfth skipjack!! Every single one of those suckers, as well as a lot of the sierras took me deep into my backing--very good times.

You sir, are a very cool dude, and I'm looking forward to future adventures with you and my other Baja Brothers

Last but not least a big shout out to Mako for making this thing happen. Thanks Bob!!!!
