Julie caught a fish....bare-handed!!

Paul was up at 5AM and couldn't get himself out the door fast enough to start walking the beach.

He ran into a fisherman from Indiana callled "Mansfield", stopped and chatted with him for awhile, asking him about what type of fish he was catching, where the best places were, what kind of bait was the best etc. etc. By the time he got back to the Condo, he was wound up to get out his fishing pole and head over to "Shut Up and Fish" (the local bait tackle shop) to buy shrimp and all the other gear he needed.

He grabbed breakfast, all his gear (plus that much needed Playmate cooler that had a few cold beers) and out the door and on the beach in a flash!

Julie headed out about the same time for a run. She ran into "Mansfield" and also stopped and chatted with him for awhile.....the old fisherman thought it would be a hoot for her to bring a fish back to Paul, so he gave her a white fish and off she jogged to show her husband her prize!!

This pelican is waiting to swipe someone's fish...will it be Julie's or Paul's??..oh, yeah...Paul hasn't caught a fish yet!

He tried

and he tried

and still no fish...but he did hook a big one......that got away!

After dinner, he and Guy headed out on the beach again, this time in the pitch dark, to try their luck. Julie and I are here sitting on the couch and can hear those two hooting and hollering to each other and just heard Guy say "Good Job, Cuz...way to go"....so we're thinking he must have finally caught the big one!

Post Script.....they just came up, both soaking wet, claiming Paul caught a white fish the same size as Julie's.....but.....he threw it back???!!!????
