Fish On!

Posted on May 27th, 2005 in Cool Stuff, Family, Old-General by Fred McKinnon

Hey Ya’ll,

I’m writing this from my hotel room in Dallas, TX … out on a business trip visiting some clients (and prospective clients) for our hosting company ….

My Dad and older brothers try to go fishing together every year … it’s sort of a “father sons” thing, and it’s always a blast. This year we had an unfortunate issue where the younger of my older brothers, Rob, couldn’t get off work (sorry, bro!) … so it was just going to be my Dad and my oldest brother, Billy. Since it wasn’t just “Father and Sons” anymore, we invited some other folks – my cousin John (the mostest awesome video/TV guy on the planet) and my pastor, Dan Harris, of Christian Renewal Church, St. Simons.

Allz I can say is “fish on” … we killed them. We chartered a boat off of Tybee Island, GA and went bottom fishing. We almost didn’t make it out – the seas were very rough (4-6 ft) but things settled down after a bit. We limited out on snapper – red snapper and vermillion (we call’em “B-Liners”) and caught some shark and a big grouper as well.

Towards the end of the day, we fished with some “live bait” on the bottom for the “big ones” – I was pumped to be the grand price winner – I landed a big 31-pound red snapper (see below) … it was one of the biggest the captain of the charter boat had ever seen!

So, here is my fishing post and pictures – nobody can have a catch that great and not brag a bit, LOL!

For the Kingdom,
Fred

    I’m glad you all had a good time! I was praying for you all. John was still “green” the day after. Congrats on the big one!

    I am glad to see some pictures that back up these tales. Personally, my favorite fish pix is still a certain video of a high school aged Fred smooching on a rather large bass he caught in a Telfair County pond!

    Dude, how do you cook a fish like that? Did you grill that puppy or what?!
