One fish, two fish, red fish...HOLY COW that's a FISH!!!

Last Saturday, Kerry (Anna and Heidi's host "dad"), took the Fabulous Four fishing on the ocean. Alexis came with us and provided great entertainment, as usual. The fish we were fishing for are called Snappers. They really have full on snappers! They need sharp teeth to crunch through shellfish, apparently. We were using little frozen fish for bait that Kerry had bought at the store.
We all caught about 3 fish each. They were all just under the size they need to be to keep them. So we threw them back. But just wait! Out of nowhere, Jess caught a MONSTER! ...well, he was a monster compared to the other fish we were catching. :) I'm sure all the other boats around knew where to find all the fish after hearing us girls screaming and laughing with excitement. We ended our trip with one HUGE fish and two fairly good-sized ones. Such a fun Saturday afternoon! Kerry was so wonderful to take us out on a whim.

First fish of the day...so excited!

Alexis's first fish, ever!
Was that a bite? I'm nervous!
I swear he felt bigger on the line! Those snappers put up a fight!

We love kissing the fish :)

We named him Chomper.
I love this picture. So cute.

Alexis being a turtle.Even though it was Jessica's fish, we all wanted to take pictures with Chomper.



The next day, Sunday, we had Chomper and two other small buddies for lunch. Kerry filleted the meat for us, and the girls and I fried it in egg and flour. We drizzled lemon and fresh homemade plum sauce on it. It was so good! We were pretty proud of ourselves. :)
