It was my 1st time fishing and I didn't think I'd catch anything, but I was the 1st person to reel one in. In fact only 3 people came home with fish out of 20. Martin had the biggest one at 30+ pounds, then mine, and then Junior.
Other people caught fish too, but they were either too small or the protected "silver" and had to be thrown back, and one got snatched by a sea lion.
The fishing guide dude did all the dirty work as far as cleaning it up and cutting it, which was good 'cause I wouldn't know what to do.
When we got to the dock (2:30pm), we put the fish on ice and had the BEST DAMN CLAM CHOWDER... It was the "icing on the cake".
At this point we were so tired and I slept most of the way home... And once I got home, I cleaned up and went to sleep (7pm)... I slept most of the night and finally got out of bed at 10am... I didn't know fishing could be so tiring. I think it was the lack of sleep as well as constantly fighting to keep your balance in the boat. And to have a better chance of catching anything we had to constantly work our fishing line.
It was a lot of fun... here are some pics!!
There's also a link to a slide show at the end...
