Shark fishing - Part 2

Our guide, John was a lot of fun! He grew up around boats, and shared his story with us as to how he got his own boat and business. It was a good lesson on hard work paying off.
For the first batch of bait we let him handle the super slimy squid. Honestly those things were so icky that I didn't feel bad about hooking them at all.  It didn't take long for us all to put our own squid on the line. (even Sweetie)
It didn't take long for the first bite..a small tug, then the game of giving slack and slowly winding the string back in.  The first catch for Brian was a stingray.

Then came the sharks! Wow! We had fun. Mostly we got babies...but then Cory, Sweetie, and I got some that were more than two feet long and three-five pounds!  Catch and release! Three hours went by fast! We even got to meet a dolphin named Nick. What a great day!
