An Amazon River fish market is a fascinating place…

This Peacock was a “standard” size…around 10 lbs.

This Cayman weighed over 1,000 lbs., that’s a 13lb. fish in his mouth that he decided to eat…..he wins.

The power of these fish was amazing…3 broken sticks in 5 days.

That beast in the Boga was over 30 lbs.

TSA has tried to confiscate my reels, which I was trying to carry on, saying I could tie up or strangle someone with my flyline.

A couple years ago they took four boxes of Bone fish flies and said they were going to put them in my check through, a move in which I had zero confidence. While I was protesting the captain/pilot of my flight came by and said he would keep them in the cockpit with him, quality move on his part.

So these days I carry-on my sticks and reels, sometimes they rag about the reels, sometimes not, and check through all the fishing tools, gear and flies…at least that way when I get where I’m going I can still throw a line.

St. Louis to Grand Bahama Island $780. Almost $300 higher than last year.
I hear later this summer the airlines are putting a $3 fee on using the can.

This one has a lot of travel time on it plus a few dunks, it all stayed dry. Mr preference is the smaller more compact offerings, easier to transport and handle.
Its a Pelican 1050, you can stuff a spare batt. and a couple of 52mm filters in there as well.
A good price online at a site titled “Case Club”.
