During our long fourth of July weekend our nephew Caleb took us halibut fishing. He launches right out in front of his house. It was a gorgeous evening and the water was flat. We went about a mile off the beach.
Jud got the first fish... a nice 30ish pound halibut. Caleb mocked a groan and said " Oh no, this means Maria is going to catch something bigger!!!" Not ten minutes after he said that I caught a 60 pounder (= It was precariously hooked and I fought with it for a good while. We would get it to the surface and it would dive down again, and again, and again. Finally with the combined efforts of Jud and Caleb it was secured to the side of the boat.
Only an hour after we launched we had caught our limit and headed back in. I'm so thankful to Caleb for taking us and to God for providing a good amount of meat for the freezer(=
