Thanksgiving 2005

I was lucky enough to spend his Thanksgiving for 2005 in Santa Cruz, a huge difference to the previous 11 months where he lived in Mexico. Staying at a friends house high in the California mountains I spent the majority of my time walking around in the woods and watching these wonderful Koi swimming around their little pond

Albino Sailfish, The Real Deal!

We first saw what appeared to be an albino sailfish back in 2008. The image did not have a accompanying story with it and I had my doubts about it truly being and albino. Here are some incredible photos from just a couple of months ago near our old fishing grounds in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. As you can see there are images of the fish from several angles and there is no mistake about this one, it is definitely an albino sailfish! It’s extremely rare that any albino fish would grow this size, but a sailfish is the fastest fish in the sea, which clearly works to its advantage when avoiding predators!

“They were flipping out because they’ve never seen anything like that in their lives, and they started looking at the eyes, and the eyes were red and pink, and they started hollering out albino, albino, and then they called into the marina, and that’s when we learned that it was a special thing.”

Cocaine Sharks

I really feel sorry for sharks. They have such a bad rap, and they are slowly quickly being killed off at an alarming rate. Now the Mexicans have come up with the brilliant idea to fill them to the gills with cocaine and ship them to the United states. More then a tonne of cocaine was found by Mexican naval officers.

10 points for originality, -50 for killing sharks.

Are Sharks Afraid Of Cages?

No, no they are not. A cage diver on Mexico’s Baja coast had a close encounter with a 15 foot great white recently. The massive shark made a run at the diving cage and broke the bars, entering it and thrashing about. Luckily for this diver, he lived to tell the tale.
