Fish on... Well, not really!



I was invited to go fishing on a boat in the Gulf and was able to bring Bodin along with. We got up at o dark thirty and met up with my friends. When Boding saw the boat he was supper excited!


On the way out we stopped and net cast for bait to use. Bodin had a great time picking the fish off of the deck and putting them into the live well.


After we got enough bait we were off. Once we got out into the open water my buddy went full throtal! We were sitting in the front and bodin was hanging onto my leg with this scared look on his face. As we were skipping over the water we hit a wave that about knocked us out of the boat. Our butts left our seat and Bodin's clamp on my leg got even tighter. Poor Bodin started begging for us to turn around and almost had tears in his eyes becuse he was soo terrified. We kept going and he eventually calmed down. We got to the spot we were going to fish and threw our lines in. I would like to say that I caught the first, the most, and the biggest but I didn't catch one dang fish!! Bodin was one of the only people on the boat to catch a fish, it was small but atleast he didn't get skunked!

After half a day of fishing and no fish we called it a day and headed in. By this time Bodin loved the boat and was screaming to go faster.

Well, you know how the saying goes, "A bad day of fishing is better that a good day at work!"
