...Very COOL, very eventfull, with both lakes being in Mexico.

Long Lake in Canada in 1989: Caught the largest Smallmouth, Walleye and Northern Pike of my life. Ate shore lunches everyday and most evenings.
Boundry Waters in 1975: On a week long Boy Scout Canoe Trip...
My wife and I were camping out at the lake one week-end and got everything set up and we were waiting for Randy and his family to show up when his dad(randys) showed up and sat down to chat with us a while. We talked about the land before the lake was flooded as he owned part of it. We also talked about fishing and how he has not been in some time because of this heath. I told him to load up in my boat and I would take him for a while untill randy showed up. he took me to some of his old spots and we caught a few fish and talked about life in general as we fished. We fished for about 2 hours before he was to weak to fish any more and we headed back to the bank. He went home and we ended up being good freinds. Well his heath got worse over the following months and he ended up dieing[V]
I was the last person he ever fished with.[V][V]
We spread his ashes over one of the spots we fished on earlier that year.[V][V]
Same group every year, little red wine, home made of course, and lots of tail gate partying.Some years we actually catch some trout.[:D]
...Lake Guerro, Mexico. 100's of bass a day per person. No big ones. average size was 3lb's. Several 6-7lb. per person a day, over 8 day trip. I have spent a LOT of time in Mexico, I spent 2 3(?) months walking and thumbing all over Mexico over 30 years ago, I love Mexico and the people, as long as they stay there! Well, that is generally speaking, I think you know what I mean, no illegals!
...We stayed on a river each time I have gone. You camp on the river, and follow rag markers tied to trees out of the river.
W/o the markers, you would never get thru the trees, some (most) of the boat trail is maybe 6-8' wide.
... Topwaters rule, unless wind negates their use. Spinners are the next great bait. Plastic baits catch fish, but you can not "work" any of them the way they were intended to be "worked", as the fish will slam them the instant they hit the water, no fun.
...Ahh topwaters. Every other hit you get on a topwater would make the cover of Field & Stream! Flying a couple of feet out of the water when they hit, beautiful!
...While fishing, you will on every dozen or so casts, you will catch a Rio Grande Perch, or that is all I have heard them called.
These are about a pound or a little larger, look like a perch/brim for the most part, but they have a huge gelatinous "lump" in the middle of their forehead, kinda ugly.
...A huricane hit the Yucatan one trip, and moved inland. Being where we were, middle of BFE, we had no idea it was comming, we had been down fishing for 8 days already. We were leaving anyway. The rain and wind were a bit&^! If we had pulled out an hour later, we would have never got off the river for who knows how long, as the road (ha-ha) is dirt w/ruts that would swallow pk-up and boat, would have turned to bad mud...excellant trip, go if you get a chance...[;)]

Around here, chad are striper or "big" bass bait. The chad I have seen/heard of, are minnow size. The show I am watching, these guys are catching what looks like (they have not said yet) 1 1/2-2 lb chad, looks like fun.

Man I wish I still could go back there and fish everyday at night. [V]
We sat on a large rock for a few hours and visited . Went home cleaned fish . called wife to come eat fish .Great day.
She passed that night in her sleep.
Shure glad I made that trip . I still go sit on that rock.
