Vacation: Day 3

Today was the Big Fishing Day -- we spent the day out in the ocean fishing for Dolphin. No, not
Flipper, but rather Mahi Mahi.

Really cool fish! In the water, they are blue, but once you hook them and they start to fight, they turn green. Not the smartest fish, either -- all you need is for one to fall for the hook, then they all follow like lambs to a slaughter. Of the three schools we fished, we caught all but one fish.

Tom caught a barracuda, which was brought up but then cut loose -- apparently they're not tasty. It was a slow fishing day -- catching the 18 we did was impressive.

At the end of the day, the guys from the boat filleted the fish, and we brought it to a local restaurant where you can have your catch grilled. Awesome -- the Cape needs to do something like this!
