UNDER THE LUNAR LENS: A Battle Against the Front When the Moon watches, the Pacific tests your resolve. There is an undeniable mystique when we fish under the gaze of a full moon. Expectations grow as much as tides, but the ocean always has the last word. The morning received us with a deceptive calm; a brief respite before the winds of a cold front decided to claim their territory. ❄️ For two hours, the silence on the reels was absolute. But in fishing, silence is not the absence of life, it is an accumulation of tension. Suddenly, the surface eroped. It wasn’t just any sting; it was a violent attack, a “hard to break” that emerged from the depths to challenge our patience. Thanks to the years of trade and the deep knowledge of the Roosterfish, we managed to tame the strength of that coastal champion just when the wind grew stronger again. A technical victory that reminded us that, under any moon or cold front, experience is the anchor that keeps us victorious.

The Pacific does not let itself be tamed When the Ocean Tests the Brave The day was born with the promise of a glass mirror, a sunrise so perfect that it looked like a postcard. But the sea is a master of humility, and soon reminded us that its beauty is as immense as its strength. The sky changed, the wind began to howl and the waves rose like silver walls. It wasn’t a day for anyone; it was a day for real fishermen. Our Canadian friends, accustomed to the tenacity of the north, did not take a step back. While the boat danced to the rhythm of angry currents, the adrenaline took control. In the midst of the storm, the Pacific opened its doors to us: eleven candles emerged from the chaos to challenge us. Eight of them accepted the mourning and ended up in our arms for the souvenir photo before returning to their kingdom. To close with a flourish, a beautiful Mahi-Mahi and a Black Tuna joined the party. We returned to the port wet, tired, but with the satisfaction of those who have looked into the eyes of the raging ocean and have emerged victorious. A day for the legend!

⏳ THE ELEVENTH HOUR: Patience is a Virtue Saved by the Buzzer! There are days when the Pacific asks us for something more than technique; it asks us for faith. For three hours, the ocean kept an absolute silence, a stillness that only those who love this sport know how to navigate with Zen patience. The sun of eleven in the morning marked the end of the road; the Captain launched the last call: "Lines up, boys!" (Lines above!). But the sea always has the last word. Just as the hands were preparing to pick up, the "chicharra" of the reel broke the silence with a symphony of adrenaline. It was not just any fish; it was an imposing Sailfish that decided to appear in the last breath of the day. Destiny, with its usual wisdom, gave the cane to the most veteran member of the group. It was a duel of legends: the experience of the years against the indomitable strength of the sailfish. A masterful task closure that reminded us that in fishing, as in life, victory usually waits for those who do not surrender before the last minute.
