A few months ago, I got the itch to do something fun. My grandpa used to always take my older sisters deep sea fishing, and he was too old by the time I got a chance, so I booked us a trip! Micah, Seth, Gabe and I were headed out of San Diego for 2 1/2 days of Mexican water’s deep sea fishing.
The first thing that happened when we got on the boat was give up $10 for the “biggest fish” jackpot. The days that followed were totally fun and very exciting….filled with fishing, great food, cribbage and other games, and in Seth’s case - many trips to convenient places to throw up. (Poor guy felt better by day two, but day one was brutal!)
Gabe caught the first fish, and by the end of the trip, he caught the most fish - thanks to the Captain who took him under his wing. Yellowtail was the coveted fish on this trip. In total, five were caught, one by Micah…..and two by me. Sorry babe, I have it in the blood. I also caught two sharks, but we cut the line on both because they are too aggressive on the deck.
On the last night, we had the weigh off for the jackpot fish, and I am proud to say that I am now $130 richer! All of the guys on the boat (I was the only female) were disgusted it was the girl who won. I tried to make them feel better by telling them it was just “beginner’s luck”. But what I should have told them was to choke up on the reel, use Sardines instead of the Anchovies, and let the fish take the bait for a swim. Suckers!
