Happy Birthday Eric!

For Eric's birthday he went on a three generation deep sea fishing trip. His dad had gone to the same place for his 30th birthday too and brought Eric so this was fun for Eric to bring Daniel and have his dad there.
They had a great time! By 9am they each had caught a Halibut! On the two other boats out in the Bay their boat had 15 caught fish while one boat had two fish caught and the other had only one fish caught. They were on the right boat!!! Eric and his dad both caught the limit of three and Daniel caught two but since the boat limited in fish, Daniel took home three fish. All nine fish after being gutted and cut into fillets were 33 lbs. Unbelievable!!! I'm glad for all of them, especially that Eric had a fun experience. The weather was perfect with very little wind and I'm told the water looked like glass.

Eric's fish!


They're bringing in the fish.
Caught it!
Here's Daniel calling me after he caught his first fish!


"My fish was THIS big Grandpa! How big was your fish?"
Daniel now wanted to put the bait on himself!

Happy Birthday Daddy!

I love these pictures, Nina! What a great idea to revisit the fishing birthday bash idea. Looks like they all had fun. I especially love the picture of Daniel and Dad comparing fish sizes. :)
