Fishing

Yours truly is not much of a fisherman. I loved to fish when I was a kid. Growing up in Maine, I even got to go lobstering quite a bit. I'd always do some deep sea fishing on the boat ride back. So when some friends invited me to go to the Sunshine Skyway to see if I still had skills, I said why not.

But you don't wanna hear about my day fishing. The only thing you wanna see is what I caught right? I'm gonna make you wait until the END of the photos to see my biggest catch of the day.

On the other side of the pier from where they fish, we spotted this...

Spotted some surfers using the wind to pull them along.

Looks fun. But no way would I not break something.

Enough stalling. Time to drop the line in and begin a nonstop day of catching fish after fish.

As the sun began to set, it was becoming clear the only thing I was going to catch was some good shots.

This was my big catch of the day. I seriously caught... a fishing lure. Besides seaweed, that was my one and only catch for the day. Turns out they're not even edible.
