A Year in Photo - Day Day 88 + Completed Bucket List Item

I have been dying to go fishing again for some time now but just haven't had the opportunity. I grew up fishing in fresh water lakes and loved it. Steve also great up fishing, but he grew up fishing in the ocean. So when Kelly and Keri offered to take us out on their boat when we went for our visit, they didn't have to ask us twice.

I caught a 12.2 pound marble spring salmon. I was like a little kid when the reel went out. I reeled it in (I have bruises to show for it) and then proceeded to do the only humane thing I know how to do, kill it quickly. Well first of all, Kelly's "bonker" is a bit unique, to say the least, an empty Texas Mickey size bottle of Grey Goose vodka. I hit it a couple of times and, well, he died quickly. Apparently it was the first time they had seen a skull bashed in and that much blood sprayed all over the deck. I was just making sure he was dead! I helped Steve too when he caught a 13.2 spring salmon....he was being more gentle so I stepped in and.....well the eyeball popped out. Again, they said that's not normal. Well this isn't news folks, I don't know if I have ever been normal!

Needless to say, we had SO much fun, crossed a bucket list item off and made some great memories!
