Fishing and Fun

Yesterday was my deep sea fishing adventure. It was great fun--even if I was feeling a little sea sick about half way through. We caught our limit early and headed back in early. Today, my hip and upper thigh are bruised and very sore from using it to anchor my rod while fighting the monsters of the sea. As is my crank hand... actually both hands are sore... when you battle a 70 pound fish for 20-30 minutes, something is bound to be sore.

Especially when you do it a few times. Nothing was funnier to me than the boat's mate telling me not to crank against the fish, let it run... I wanted to say dude, it is all I can do to hold the rod when the thing wants to run--I could barely hold the rod and crank at the same time anyway!
