I could do an ad for Mastercard or Visa.

Airpland tickets: a few dollars.
Rental Car: a few dollars.
Fishing trip with grandsons: PRICELESS.

Today was our big day of fishing, and we did our charter trip out into the Gulf. We had to be at the dock and board with Captain Sam and First Mate Matt at 8:00 a.m. We made it and shoved off on time. Waves were'nt too big and everyone felt fine for the entire trip.

Everything was pretty much as usual. We caught some grouper, which were'nt big enough to keep. They have to be about 24 inches I think. That means they are hard to pull in. One of us caught one that was an inch too short. Bummer.

Then we hit the Bonitas. (sp) They fight. Below you will see some pictures. Everyone caught more than one. It took at least 5 minutes to pull them in. I guess we caught 8 by the time we pulled anchor. They are not good eating, so we throw them back. But they fight like crazy. I have some good movies and will try to put one of them on a separate facebook entry.

Luke decided that a picture of him before he gets home would be OK. He was thinking maybe his dad wouldn't see it. I think he wanted a picture of himself with one of those big fish, and you can't miss his haircut.

We will be eating large tonight. Fish, french fries, and pop. And we have just the right amount. None will be left over.

We head home tomorrow morning, and if we have wifi at the airports, you may see another blog before we get back to Buckhannon.

Can't quit saying it: Life is Good.
P.S. I'm inexperienced at creating blogs. Intended for more pics here and to be placed more systematically, but look on fb for more.
