Awesome man. Trips with the kid are always a wild card. They can be the most rewarding, or the most frustrating.

Brian did not complain one time about the waves, sun, or anything else. He did get a little upset when he tried to pee....into the wind. He has to learn.








Brian's total for the day:

1 Sandy 16in c&r
1 Calico 17-18 in c&r
1 Hali 29in dinner




A couple of quotes from a 6 year old:

"Why don't we just eat these Sardines?"

"The wind attacked me with my pee."

"Catching Halibuts is not that hard, all your friends should try it."

"Daddy, I think I have salty butt."

"Daddy, you'll get one next time."




Some photos from Brian's day:


17-18 inch calico


29 inch Hali

I've fished with grown men that cried and complained about being on the water for 5hrs, this kid endured hours of fishing and never complained. We launched around 8am and didn't get off the water until after 430pm, when we landed he looked like he could have gone a few more hours.
