skybytch 273 #1 August 18, 2003 So I hear a couple dz.commies went and killed some fish yesterday... something about a huge marlin that somehow "got away"? C'mon, Dominic... tell the story! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dgskydive 0 #2 August 18, 2003 Ok. Laurie and I went out Fishing with Tony on Sunday. Great time was had by all. We left out of Oceanside and caught some mackeral first off for bait. Also caught a few Sand Bass. AFter that we went out a few more miles and started trolling. After only being out for less then an hour, BANG! One of the reels started screaming! We started bringing in all the other lines and next thing I know Tony is screaming at the top of his lungs. If you know Tony you know that it is a very rare thing to see him get excited about anything. Anyway, he is screaming "WE GOT A MARLIN, WE GOT A MARLIN!" Since I am the newbie when it comes to deep see fishing, Tony orders me up to the bridge to drive the boat while he reels the damn thing in. Now remember I am the newbie. He starts yelling all these directions out for how to keep the boat and the fish all lined up. Shit, this isn't some little dingy we are on. This is a 36ft. fishing boat with a shit load of buttons and switches and lights all over the place. Of course I f--- it all up and he calls me down to reel it in while he drives the boat. Down I go and get the fidhing rod from him. He starts getting the boat all lined up and the DAMN fish gets away before we can get it all the way up to the boat. But to see this 150 or so pound Marlin jumping not more then 15 to 20 feet from the boat was pretty damn exciting! Then I threw up! F------ waves and orange soda don't go well together!Dom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dgskydive 0 #4 August 18, 2003 Hell we at least wanted to get back to the Harbor. If we let Laurie drive we would have been eaten by the whales we saw.Dom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skybytch 273 #5 August 18, 2003 Poor girl. I wonder how she managed to put up with you guys. What grit she has. I might have been tempted to swim back to shore. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dgskydive 0 #6 August 19, 2003 She didn't talk to us much on the way home. I don't blame her. She took it like a trooper. All and all I think we where pretty easy on her.Dom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VanillaSkyGirl 6 #7 August 19, 2003 It sounds awesome, except for the part when you puked. Thank you for the mother vibes and prayers in your PM. We will jump sometime soon. It sounds like you had a great weekend with good friends!

Actually it would be a way to see the sunset I keep saying I want when I come out there...hum, just a thought. -- Hot Mama At least you know where you stand even if it is in a pile of shit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites laurie 0 #9 August 19, 2003 Thanks a lot!!!! It was a lot of fun!!! It was real fun watching Dom lose the marlin ! The only reason I was quite on the way home is because I was thinking 'bout the fact I had to step foot in the ghetto again You two aren't so bad to put up with!! I would definitely do it again...but next time lets get the darn fish to the boat!

They dont work but what the hell? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites laurie 0 #12 August 19, 2003 I know I tried to get them to carry me from my car to Tony's but they thought it was quite hysterical to finally get me to step in the ghetto. My shoes that touched that dirt will never be the same . As far as the FIRST time...like I wouldn't buy you more beer anyway!

I get to good of a discount here.Dom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites dgskydive 0 #14 August 19, 2003 Oh Laurie, You know I love you but you are gonna get all the Ghetto folks mad at ya. You should love the Ghetto. So many of the worlds best skydivers have lived there. It actually has a really big tradition. Did youknow that Sqaure 1 started there? Harvey is looking some names up for me, we are trying to see how many world champion skydivers and world record holders have lived there. It should be interesting. I already know of 5 or 6 for sure.Dom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites laurie 0 #15 August 19, 2003 Hey Dom, I love you too and it's just a joke!!! I have no problem with the ghetto!!! The whole joke kind of goes with the nickname I've acquired...
