If you want to catch a big fish, go to Australia or Hawaii or Cabo San Luca.

If you fish in Perth at the right time of year, you will certainly catch a Samsonfish that is at least 50lbs...but the charter is about $250 per person per day.

If you fish off Kona at the right time of year, you will certainly catch a common dolphinfish (dorado, mahimahi) that is at least 20lb...and if you fish at least 4 days, you have a realistic chance of catching a yellowfin tuna that is at least 50lbs...but the charter is at least $500 per day.

If you fish at Cabo San Luca at the right time of year, you will certainly catch a roosterfish that is at least 30lbs or a marlin that is at least 70lbs...but the charters is at least $400 per day.

Thailand fishing is pretty cheap actually...you could go fishing for a day for about $200-300 per day, but the flight cost about $1300 on the low end.

But then again, people spend $5000 to go salmon fishing in British Columbia for a week...which I still can't understand why...for that price, I can fish for a week TWICE in Cabo San Luca in an all inclusive resort with 4 days of fishing...and you catch roosterfish, yellowfin tuna, mahimahi, striped marlin, Pacific sailfish...etc that are much bigger than the usual 20-35lb chinook salmon caught at Queen Charlotte Islands...
