Deep Sea Fishing

Today Jesse and I embarked on a deep sea fishing trip and it was so much fun.  We drove down to the beach which is about 2 hours btu a really nice easy pretty drive.  We woke up at 2am! yes way to early.  We had to be down there by 4:30 to check in. Lets just say that I had a very good nap on the boat.  Jesse was really excited to take me deep sea fishing he is always talking about how he used to go with his friend Jaren back at home.  I did not get sea sick and had a great time it was so relaxing.  And a huge thanks to Jill for watching Kade for us all day! She is pretty much the most amazing friend ever.
The boat we rode on the Rock n Roll

The bay at a ridiculous hour...I think 5am ish

We are ready to go

I caught the first fish and this is the first Salmon I have ever caught. 

This is the view from the back of our boat early in the morning.  Not sure what time but it was pretty overcast for the morning but then cleared up and was nice and sunny with a little wind.  Okay a lot of wind. We saw some porposises pretty close, a sea lion, a seal, and orcas way off in the distance.

Jesse was the third person to catch a fish and his was the biggest.  Sorry the picture is blurry

We caught a total of 4 fish which wasn't that much.  We could have each walked home with 2 fish each but we were happy with our one.  One of the other guys on our boat caught the other 2.  Mine is the second going left from right and Jesse's is the end.

Here we are happy with our catch for the day.

That looks like quite the adventure. I'd like me some salmon but am not willing to get up that early... or move to Seattle :-)

Actually I do have to admit that fresh salmon is the best. It doesn't stink like the rest of the fish when you cook it! Enjoy
