BELIZE - THREE "LAST DAY" GRAND SLAMS
In a very unusual set of coincidences, the last two
November trips on the mothership Meca in Belize
produced some exciting “last days” of the trips.
First, Chris Coyle and Doug Pruett had a productive
week pursuing primarily bonefish (over 40 fish
released) with two days moving south for the finicky
permit (no fish released). On the morning of their
departure, they had moved their liveaboard near
Belize City and were going to get one more morning
on the water before getting to the airport. With 15
minutes to go before they had to absolutely head for
the airport to catch their flights home, both of
them had two legs of an IGFA Grand Slam and needed
just a bonefish to finish it. In one of those rare
moments when the fishing gods cooperate fully, they
found a flat nearby that was full of willing bones
and they both finished off their grand slams,
literally on the way to the airport!
And to top things off, Julie and Dennis Smith and
family were on the Meca for Thanksgiving week.
Weather was difficult much of their week, but a
similar scenario as above played out on their last
morning – an IGFA Grand Slam for Dennis on their way
to the airport.
In the future, maybe we should just begin all
Belize trips on the last day?
