WTG! I bet that fish was tasty!

Taller than your little girl! Just had my little girl (24 years old) come home for a few days and say, "Daddy, take me fishing" of course, we did...Save that picture.

So cool! Isn't spearing great compared to being on the beach? You get to see if there's really something out there. And what a good holding shot in the murk- you must have been so stoked when you realized how big it was! Awesome!
