Cancun Fishing

Last week, my wife and I went to Cancun courtesy of a radio contest that my
wife won. We were flown down from O'Hare airport to Cancun, where we spent
five glorious days at the Riu Cancun Hotel. Not being able to spend that
much time near that much water and not fish, I brought a medium light
spinning rod and a small tacklebox with some assorted soft plastics,
swimbaits and Secret Weapon spinnerbaits. I didn't spend a lot of time
fishing, but I cast a bit from some rocks at the edge of the hotel property.
I managed to get this guy landed, but screwed up on three or four more fish
of unknown species. From what the locals tell me, this is an incredibly
large needlefish, but all I know is he hit like a ton of bricks and stripped
a lot of line off before I got him under control.

I've got to go back and actually do some serious fishing. The reports I
heard from other guests at the hotel made me realize there's more to Cancun
than white sand beaches and umbrella drinks.
