When the plane touched down in Mazatlan my stomach knotted up just a bit. I knew I was in for the fish of my life.

I arrived at the El Cardon Resort and was escorted to a beautiful luxury hotel room, right on the Pacific Ocean. The next morning, before daybreak, I took a 35 minute ride to El Salto Lake. El Salto is a 25, ooo acre impoundment that opened in 1990. For the next three days we got to the lake before daybreak and fished top water until first light. I caught a ton of huge bass on big Gunfish, Sammy and G-Splash in MS Black, Chartreuse Shad and Shell White.

As the sun and the temp rose and we fished deep for some green monsters. I was glad that I brought some 20ft LC Cranks. The hotter it got the more I caught fish on Carolina rigged Magnum Lizards. For the next three days I caught more than 150 fish over 6 pounds. My largest fish was just shy of 8 pounds. We didn’t even count the 5 pounders. My hook sets were so violent that my side was bruised black and blue from the butt of my rods. I was so tired that I could not have fished a fourth day. It was time to enjoy the Pacific surf, sunsets and memories of the biggest bass of my life time. It was truly Mexico Magic.

I’m always fascinate by all the updated F1 technologies. I had a chance to drive Ferrari 599GTB, F430, Lamborghini superleggera, Bentley supersports, Audi R8. I just couldn’t believe how quick semi automatic F1 paddle sift changes gear. When I shifted it kicked back a little and sound of Ferrari engine was just simply amazing. Formula 1 will be back U.S. in 2012 at Austin Tx!?

The soccer season is over, and the Reese girls are winners!
We had our last weekend of soccer for the season, and it was a good one. Lea scored another goal, which is always an exciting thing to be a part of, and Courtney really got into it during her game and played really well.

The Daily Flash Minnow

I am on a business trip in Kanto Japan. First I will get some Ramen Noodles to recharge my energy! “Yaguratei”, “Taisho-Ken”, & “Yokohma-Ya” were all so delicious~. By the way, in this picture are Lucky Craft staff members: Mr. Takita – head office sales rep and again Mr. Takita – production manager. If you are wondering, they are brothers. Their uncle is the famous movie director (America Oscar winning movie: “Departures” also known as “Okuribito”), Takita Yojiro.

After fishing with Matt, we had dinner at his place. We made sushi with the Tuna Matt had caught that day. The tuna I ate at Mr. Omori’s place was delicious, but the roasted Toro (fatty underbelly of tuna) was also excellent! Next is fishing camp!!

Mr. Omori & the famous tennis player, Maria Sharapova are fellow students of the same athlete training school called IMG located in Florida! The very famous golf player, Tiger Woods and Kei Nishikori from men’s tennis are both also from this very same school. Mr. Omori went to this IMG School to learn health management and mental training. And he is now continuing to grow and aim high as one of the top anglers. Maria Sharapova left a charming message to Mr. Omori: “Tak, you have to catch a big fish for me”, and it is sitting right here… I want you to look at the bottom right part of the image. They had placed an image of Sharapova training and Mr. Omori when he was still a student on the same IMG Academy flyer!! This is huge!!

This time, I would like to talk about my trip to Texas. I had split my stories into 3 parts (so please stay tuned!)

Kelly Jordon is one of nation’s most contested Bass Elite Tour pros. But this time it wasn’t about fishing. We received a call from Kelly stating that he has gotten married! As soon as possible, we rushed to Texas to celebrate this wonderful event.

As usual Kelly is always gentleman-like and has an amazing sense of style with his western boots! And his car used for touring is the TOYOTA that I admire. His newly wife sadly wasn’t able to make it, but we had a great time at a very famous steak restaurant in Texas. We opened 2 bottles of wine and the wonderful time went by very fast. He’s gotten married and by next year he will have an additional member in his family. We have much hope for him as a dad next year!

For more detailed information on Kelly, please take a look at his website.

I ate breakfast with Mr. Omori. And actually it was his homemade cooking! Mr. Omori had bought an enormous amount of fresh tuna just for us. It was very kind of him to do that!! Usually for health managing purposes, Mr. Omori doesn’t eat too much side dishes. But for our visit, he had so many side dishes ready just for us. Since the wind felt very nice that day, we decided to eat out side. The tuna sashimi was very delicious!!
