Many come to Mazatlán, Mexico solely for sport fishing. Gamblers go deep for marlin, swordfish, sailfish, tuna & especially dorado (dolphinfish). I’ve been shut out twice on those trips.

This time we opted for a bottom-fishing trip expecting to haul in dozens of snapper & grouper.

That we did. But the real highlight was a gymnastics display by whales!
