My wife finally finished her Master's degree in Educational Leadership with her Administrative Credential so this past week has been full of grad ceremonies, parties, fun, fishing, drinking and family time.

Highlight for me was that my youngest daughter Jayme caught her very first fish...and it was a solid Ling!!  :smt007

The fight tuckered her out and she got a little seasick so we didn't stay out too long and went back into the harbor and let the girls play with the Tuna Crabs and on the SUPs.

Turns out I am SUP challenged.   :smt005

Here's some pics from the past 5 days...

Sincerely,

Jim

Hey Jim!!  You know why you are SUP challenged?  It's because you spend more time underwater than trying to stand on water!  You do better underwater.

Great report! Congrats to your family for making all of that happen and especially the degree!

Not easy to pull that off with little ones and requires everyone to pull together.

Congratulation and thanks for sharing Big Jim.  Your little one is a cutie and future great angler.
