Off camera Rob was hollering at the boat to drop some baits down so he had an excuse to bail out of the lifeboat. That squid was spectacular!

I hope you read this. My name is Jake. You have been an inspiration that has kept me alive throughout a 5 year battle after a flesh eating infection destroyed my lower legs.i got when fishing in wisconsin. I am healing but it's still a long hard road. I can kinda walk again. But I have had chronic infections after for the last 5 years. Thank you and some day I hope I get down south and I see you on the water. I have never fished salt water it's always been a dream of mine. But as a single dad of 2 disabled boys and the health issues I have fought that might not happen. But I wanted to say thank you for your inspiration. Tight lines and shoot straight.

[@mastergunnerysgt1258]

You put out some good info about your life boat experience and what to do and what not to do. That big squid can be a danger if you are in water with them as they can be very nasty to a swimmer or a diver, as I found out many yr's ago. As I see all of you did a great job on that sword fish that was a task to be had. For you and the crew, be safe and love the vid. Old , Master Gunnery SGT USMC.

[@stanleyshelby7460]

Rob, you do have a v.h.f. radio onboard I feel...should have called U.S.C.G. with your exact location when you realized the radar wasn't targeting the radar reflector on the raft. They could have been able to predict its near vicinity when notifying other mariners to keep a lookout for it. Anyway, a great video and content...thanks.

[@wicked_rider17]

@@Questionabletesticle He complained on how he has had many issues out of the sim rad prior to this event, meaning the sim rad not working was very predictable. Rob inflated the raft in a non emergency situation for entertainment purposes and should of took responsibility. If it had been daytime or if he had tied the raft to the boat it would've likely not been lost. This was carelessness on Robs part.

[@John_Conner222]

lol I figured you wouldn't last long in the raft if they were fishing. Next time you will have to do this without the support boat fishing and having all the fun. As for the swordfish being muddy we talked about this last time. I believe its the squid sacks breaking and covering the fish with squid ink and goop. Now that you caught a squid AND the swordfish we can see side by side that the same "mud" from the swordfish looks like the squid ink mud from the squid as you clean both together.

Fabulous video Robert. Takes me back to when I was living in Mulegé, BCS, Mexico for 17 years. Mulegé is right at the mouth of Bahia Concepcion and I spent many days fishing for squid, Mahi Mahi, grouper, and yellowtail off San Marcos. My favorite way of cooking squid is to cut the mantle into about 3"x4" rectangles and fry it in garlic butter. Absolutely delicious! Love your Tikka squad also. I own three now that I am back in Idaho. I have a .243, .270, and a 7RM. The 270 has a Zeiss scope. I bought that combo off Gunbrokers for $400! Great family and all grown up... sorta kinda.
