Well finally got home at midnight last night tired from the flight and lost of hearing in my right ear I guess from the flight, hope it comes back soon or I am going to be PO'ed.
Have to say that I had a very good time and enjoyed it very much. The last time I was on the Big Island was almost 40 years ago over in Hilo...big changes since then.
Ransom is a true HOST and we all appreciated the fact he invited us to his great home over there....no lost for space in that house..
Lots of laughs and kidding and just relaxing and having a great time fishing, hunting and driving around the Island. Even found the old property I bought back in the 60's over south of Hilo and it still is not developed...not sure who owns it now. total JUNGLE though...LOL...guess I am glad I sold it in the 70's.
I only got to fish for three days while there as I came down with a cold and it settled in my lungs and made for a miserable time. Wish I had been there when D13er caught his Marlin, but since Gridman left and was not chumming anymore not enough bait for fish and they vacated the area.
Missed seeing Ransom get his YellowFin tuna like mine but guess I still got the biggest one....damn should have had a money pot on the biggest fish...might be a good idea next time Ransom.
RANSOM'S FISHING TOURNMENT
$20 ENTRY
BIGGEST FISH
WINNER....BUYS DINNER AT OUTBACK
Just make sure D13er does not include his WINE...unless he is the winner...LOL
As soon as I get the pictures uploaded from camera I will post some more from the trip.
Again, thanks to Ransom for a great vacation and also meeting a few more MM Members like 1911, Swede and Gridman...all great guys and a joy to be around along with Ransom and last but not least D13er...great group.
