Reminds me of a cracker about 16 years ago. Me and my mate were working for Bank of America in Hong Kong who the took over an outfit in San francisco. Cut a long story short we had to go over to San Fran for 3 weeks on business but one of the weekends was a holiday so there were 4 days off. Me being a fisherman I thought immediately "Cabo San Lucas" so we got a flight down there, Roosterfish, Sailfish, Marlin, Tuna, the works down there. Now my friend was no fisherman, in fact utterly clueless but nonetheless came along. As soon as we checked in to the hotel I got down the dock and booked us a skiff for the afternoon. Out we went and I gave him first crack, 10 mins he is into a big Rooster but keeps trying to wind the reel the wrong way.....it gets off. I caught a couple of big Gars, they grow up to about 25lbs or more there but otherwise quiet. My mate is bored now and decides to go for a dip (it was hot). Just as he is about to climb out of the boat the biggest Tiger shark I have yet to see, swims past, literally 2 metres from the skiff. Now that skiff was 18 foot give or take and he was virtually the same length !! God knows what he would have weighed, even the mexican skipper was stunned. I have never seen anyone in my life go as white as my mate

Funny thing is, he had the last laugh. We are motoring slowly back to port in our little skiff and all the big boys are coming back in their 40 foot Bertrams, Hatteras etc when I see a sailfish jump near the rocks. Quick as you like I put a live mackeral on and cast it to where the sail was, 20 seconds, bang, I´m in. All the big boats stop and start watching. Bloody hell I think, this is heavy for a sail. 20 mins later up he comes, I´ve hooked a bloody seal in a fin !!!! Skipper and my mate are pissing themselves laughing as is everyone else in the vicinity. I got it to the boat and we cut the line next to the hook (not without difficulty). God the embarrasement, best
