Holy Snapper Batman! - The Hull Truth

Squid Row · 09-22-2007, 11:38 PM

Yesterday, Military Appreciation Day hosted an event for the Wounded Warriors Batallion of Camp Lejeune.

We chartered the Continental Shelf and went fishing in rough seas, lighting, thunder and wind! But hey, these guys are MARINES and they battled through it!

What an amazing group of men they are. I have such respect and admiration for them and their service.

After fishing we hosted a cookout that was open to the public at the Jaycee Park right next to the boat.

Fishing was pretty good despite the 5-7 foot seas, with some 8-9 footers to keep us on our toes (or backsides a few times too

)

Highlight fish of the day, big fish, REALLY BIG FISH

A 27 lb, 38 inch American Red Snapper

Did I mention the weather? Look towards the bow, unfortunately this was a common scene that started at 7:05 AM (congrats Tim on winning the chucker pool!)

Awesome trip was had by all and I did not puke....I believe Rich was being pretty liberal on the sea state....LOL.

Me? Liberal? Don't believe I have EVER been called that before! LOL

She definitely was a bit snotty and I will admit the lightning had me a bit concerned for a while, but I am glad it blew over for the ride home

Can't believe it was that bad up there when we were frying fish on the boat Saturday evening. Around the tower it was 2 foot all day and got calmer Saturday night.
Looks like the boys managed to catch some nice fish. Great job and from us military guys on the site, Squid Row thanks for what you do for us!
