Fishing - Day 2

We went fishing with Kevin again on Jordan's birthday! How fun!! This time we fished over a reef for some grouper; it was the first day of grouper season, after all. And boy did they bite!

We caught one,

two,

three,

four,

and five grouper! All five of these are black grouper. The limit is one per person, so we could only keep two. When I caught my first grouper, (number 3 up there), we put it in the live bait well while Kevin checked the regulations about black grouper. During the time it was in the live bait well, it changed colors to adapt to its surroundings! (The well was all white). Pretty cool, huh?!

We saw a frigatebird. They have the largest wingspan to body weight ratio of any bird. They don't swim and can't walk well, but they can stay aloft for more than a week! 

Here are our first two keepers. Jordan also caught a red grouper, but it was an inch shy of being a keeper.

And here's the rest of the catch from the day. Kevin filleted our fish for us, and we took it with us!

I'm glad we spent two days fishing, and I'm glad we were able to fish on Jordan's birthday. And I'm very glad we caught plenty of grouper!
