Below, evidence from recent junket to Belize, specifically, a six man tactical strike to the Belize River Lodge, conveniently located two minutes from the airport in Belize City. The run of show is nuts, we left TX at 7AM, were fishing by noon thirty.

Despite arriving with $13,000 in mono-filament alone, we did not catch our collective weight in fish as hoped. High winds and too much Orange Fanta conspired for a challenging 4 days. Challenging like get out and push the boat you gringos, challenging.

Great company and a great spot though, expect to return and claim the Mayan title, eventually.

McKenna's first fish - which I was not allowed to model with, a CUDA

Pedro, making his be lucky you caught fish face, otherwise known as the $400 bar jack snap

Mom, a giant tarpon

Post surgery, barb clipped, bandages bloodied

Pete's first tarpon, 300 cast investment

First Snook, also a day's energy. Unlike photo suggests, not eatable at this size

Closer to eatable

One half of the arsenal

McGarrah in repose

Conditions improving, the day we're leaving

Fruitless quest for leader board supremacy

If you squint, that's David Danger Dunham, double haul hookback
