Thanks for the photobucket tutorial Bottomdweller, lets see if it works.....





The fish are a ~40 lb Jack Crevalle and a 20+ lb Dorado caught on a Zara Spook topwater bait casting from the beach in Baja, Christmas Eve 2006.

Yeah she was pretty skinny, although I am not holding it way out in front to make it look bigger!  ;)

Dorado (also called Mahi-Mahi or dolphinfish) are normally found way offshore, it is really a fluke to catch one from the beach.  This one had almost nothing in its stomach, probably why it ate my Zara Spook twice!

Here's a (not very good) pic of a fatter male, caught on an earlier trip.

D, that last fish looks as though he got the gaff, or did you put a cap in his a$$. none the less very nice fish.

We fished Jackson Lake Saterday caught 9 fish between the 3 of us, the banks are melting away, and the top layers are melting down. I think it may be my last Ice trip, unless we get some really cool weather.

Everybody becarefull if you are still ice fishing. And watch out for bears We saw a sow humpback grizz, with three kids, down by Jackson Lake dam.

Monster fish! Very nice. There are a few that size in my area but only hear of one or two a year. I've never come close. It would be a fish of a life time for me.
