Ben has a friend with a wonderful boat, the "Paux Pas" and makes it available during the "light" fishing season. 26 feet in length with twin 150 hp motors. Great boat for the Gulf for fishing.
The boats has all of the latest navigational equipment and depth finders. Really a great boat!
We headed out into the open Gulf at about 7:30 Satyurday morning for a day of fishing.
Of course I was well equiped with the great rod, reel and tackle box that I had received for Christmas a couple of years ago, and it was the perfect setup for the fishing that we were going to do. I felt like a pro.
While I landed the first catch of the day (black bass about 12 inches long), I was followed closely by Ben with a more significant catch. 
For a good part of the fish that we hooked, the bait was almost as big as the fish. It was still fun bringing them in and then letting them go again.
If it was really about catching fish to eat, I would just go to the grocery store. It certainly would be a lot cheaper. It was a great day on the water with good friends. What more could you ask for? Oh yeah, a few more fish would have been nice.
