A small correction. We did not go “deep sea” fishing. We went off-shore slatwater fishing. That is a great picture of you ‘Getting Bent.’ That’s the term often used when someone is hooked up and the pole is, well, bent.

Oh I hope you popped them in the freezer Billy, they will be fine when you get back, and if you don’t eat them, I will. Well the Yellowtail, the Bonito you can keep.

Barb, the fish are iced right after we catch them, then clean on the ride in. You get a bag of fillets (or how ever you want them cleaned) to take home and drop in the freezer. :)

Next trip will be more productive!

Pretty cool stuff. Surprised you didn’t let them go after you reeled them in if you weren’t going to keep them.

I will give $100 to your charity of choice if you wear that hat to work on the first day in your new gig.

That hat saved me! I bought it last minute, at the gear shop, right at the pier, on Brandon’s advice. I’m pretty sure that if I hadn’t, the redness of my head would have resembled a baboon’s posterior.

Although granted, it does look like I was pluked out of a rice paddy.

Some fishermen I know take their fresh catch to a butcher’s and have it prepared for freezing. Then they just pop it in their home freezer for use whenever.
Anyway, I don’t think it was the lures and jigs that brought you such luck…it was THE HAT!!
