Deep Sea Fishing Boys Trip

Travis had a great plan to take the boys on a Deep Sea Fishing Boys trip last year during the kid's spring break, only all the kids got hand, foot and mouth disease days prior... :(

So this year they made it! ...and only a year late!

Here they are up and out the door at 3:30 AM.

...just before boarding our vessel.


The crew took a liking to us and slipped the boys the best of the raw squid bait. 


Pete was all about the catching fish but adamantly against touching them. Here he is with his halibut.


Benji was therefore designated as our fish handler.

 

...And this was right after the crew told Benji the Scorpion Fish he was holding had venomous spikes.


We ended up with a halibut and 8 whitefish and a few scorpion fish that we couldn't keep (most weren't even bigger than the bait we were using!). But we didn't get stabbed any venomous spikes so that's a plus!


You can see that Benji's not entirely convinced the fish isn't going to turn and attack!
