Well the day finally came. Bill's mission this fishing year was to catch a shark. Every time the line took off and we had a big one but the line broke he just knew it was a shark. I was not quite so optimistic. Not that I didn't think he could do it but I just thought the "What are the chances?" and also we don't have just great rods and reels. But this weekend his dream came true. We were fishing around this rig and Bill decided to throw out our big pole into the channel with a live croaker on the end. We were busy doing other things when Candace yells from her kayaks, "Bill, I think something is on your line!" Sure enough the pole was completely bent over and Bill's fun time began. As you can see he is smiling from ear to ear as her is reeling this puppy in!
We had no clue what to do when he screamed out, "IT'S A SHARK!!!" I, of all people, grabbed the net and leaned over the boat (like I am pro) and scooped it into the net. My heart was racing at the point and I was screaming like crazy. So I threw it in the ice chest with the net in tow.
We then looked in there in awe. We had no clue what to do. Bill got ice from our food ice chest and started throwing ice on it. We were too scared to do anything else so we cut the line and began to freeze him to death.
Finally, we were 100% sure that the shark was dead and Bill got his proud picture. He was so happy. The rest of the day nothing could bring him down. I think he said he loved me about a million times. I'm
going to have to remember that one. :)
Brad and Amy came down because Brad was playing in some concerts down in Corpus. We went and picked them up so they could hang out with us on the boat and Brad could fish. I think he had a blast. He hooked on to this lady fish. We also hooked on to the rig we were fishing by... TWICE!!! He is so funny.
Finally, Saturday night we went into Corpus to watch Brad play in his concert. He was playing with a Latin Band. It was so fun to watch. He was so serious playing. I am glad I finally got to see him play. We have been meaning to go but just hadn't. That is him in the middle with the trombone.
Here is Candace, me and Amy at the concert. We had so much fun.
All is all..... Great Weekend!!
