What a day!  Can you believe a day of fishing, catching a boat load of fish and after splitting up the cost: $25!  The water was rough starting out, just as good as many of the roller coaster rides that I have ridden in the past.  Later, I really enjoyed watching those waves hitting the reef, especially next to some of the uninhabited islands.  We chased the bird piles getting into many strikes and landing many fish.  I was using a hand line.  After several fish landed, I had a large fish hit.  I was mid-boat and not making much head-way.  Danny grabbed the line at the aft end of the boat and moved the line away from a fishing rod.  He started to pull on the line and almost got pulled in, it was a stand-off, the fish (mackerel) rolled, looking fat and every bit of 5 1/2' long, and the line broke!  Oh well, I knew this was going to be a good day when we started and was asked if I was ready for some tug-of war!

                                                                                                                  Like I said the fishing was great!

                                                                                                     These guys can really slice them up fast!

I missed the picture of Danny eating some off of the fish, after the meat had been cut off.  He had a 4' fish and eating on it like a corn on the cob!  I ate some but like some seasoning and more fire!
