I just got home a little while ago, but I'm way too tired to type all I have to say. I have a ton of pictures to go through as well. Hope to get em up later today along with my recount of the trip.
Airport security cut our cooler open and pawed through our vacuum packed fish! I hope the other guys made out better than I did. Being I helped package the meat this morning, I knew what had my name on it. We had a huge tuna loin that we cut in 1/2. It came out looking like a 2" thick prime rib. Booty got one, and I got one. Well, that bag is missing! BASTARDS!!!!!

I warned Med in a text yesterday, I told him several times to buy a soft cooler freeze the meat overnight, because you can't bring ice onboard and Check as a carry on.... Capt50 is never wrong.. Sorry for your loss, that sucks

They should have had a hard cooler. A lot of people are using the thick foam coolers because of the weight restrictions. I am not a fan of that but there is no way you can stop a person from stealing unless you catch them.
Airport Security ????? I keep hearing about stuff like this.
We did not have time to freeze every bit of the meat and they wanted some of it without being frozen.
Fishing is not a matter of life or death. It's more important than that.
My guess as to what happened is, we had the cooler packed right to the tip top with no room to spare. I think once they pawed through it, to inspect it, it didn't all fit again without fussing, so they tossed what they needed to get the cooler to close again. It's too bad it happened, but it's all good.
On a side note, the cooler was way over weight. Needed to be under 50#'s and it was 73 or 77. It was going to be $100 fine for the overweight, plus the $25 to check it, $25 for my checked bag, $25 for Booty's checked bag. That was $175 for our luggage. I was able to upgrade to first class for $110, and check three bags, including the overweight, for free. So, if anyone was gonna get beat out of a bag of fish, it may as well be the guy that drank the 3 beers, and ate well, while the other two sat back in the po boy section!

It was a great trip Jon! Med and I have a bunch to post when we get time. I got home and to bed by 3:45am, and I already have work related emails this morning, so there's no sleepin in, or fussing with reports for me yet! I'm off to the shop! I
