I was excited to get my 13 and 15 year old boys on the water and hooked up with Tuna for a fishing trip on my birthday. Cabo Pulmo is my most favorite spot on the planet and I own a lot in Phase 3. It was a gorgeous morning and perfect weather. The boat ,the Black Marlin, was equally perfect and the Captain was friendly and exceptional.

We hopped in the boat at 5:45am and by 6:08am my youngest son had a 15 lb tuna on the line. He was excited to be fishing for tuna and even more excited to actually have one on the line. In 10 minutes he had his 1st tuna in the boat. 5 minutes later, my oldest son had an 18 lb tuna on the line. After a ten minute fight he was excited to land his1st tuna. There is nothing better for a Father’s birthday than to see his two sons land gorgeous tuna.

We then began fishing for Marlin and had 1 strike, saw a second marlin swimming on the surface 50 yards away and at near the end of our time on the water, we saw a marlin doing magnificent jumps 10 feet in the air 200 fee away.

The captain filleted the tuna and even gave us the tuna collars, which is the richest part of the fish. We grilled them on the gas grill at our lodging a couple of nights later. I highly recommend you do the same with your tuna!

After we landed, we took some of the tuna to Taco’s and Beers and had amazing tuna tacos. The next day we took the tuna to Bryan’s restaurant , Pelicano’s and had amazing sashimi for lunch. Strongly suggest you do the same thing.

The Black Marlin took us to where the big fish were and between seeing the boys light up by catching tuna and seeing the abundant marlin off of Cabo Pulmo, it was a magical day on the Black Marlin and with Bryan Uriel Castro Arvizu’s team. We will be back every year for more magic.
