Conditions were supposed to be good so I made a call to Arizona and the trip was planned. Friday morning at 5am we go to leave my house and my door switch on Bad Pig was acting up, interior lights wouldn't turn off and and door ajar buzzer was on >:( >:( After F'ing around with it, I just pulled the light bulbs and hit the road (40 minutes later)
Got to the Launch Ramp to foggy conditions, but I've seen worse ::)

Tacos tonight !
Nice selection of taco meat! Great quality also, guys!
BTW, Cheez needs to eat a bunch of tacos and put some meat on those bones. He looks like a twig! lol
Nice!! Inspiring me to get out there...
Nice haul!

LMAO>>>>I'm the heaviest I've ever been!
It was a good trip, out and back in a few hours, limits on fish and good times were had by all. I was almost upset the fishing was as good as it was. Didn't get much time to enjoy the boat ride!
Hell of a trip guys. Tim will be deep dropping for swords in no time!
I must say, my Diawa Saltist made it easy to bring up the fish from almost 600', smooth comfortable handle and the grip on the Penn Carnage ll rod kept my hand from cramping up.....getting old sucks ::)
Always fun to have CHEEZ on The Cyclops 8)
Is he "Cheddar" or "Limburger" though?
