Catching Bait

Sawyer and I joined Curtie on the boat today to catch
bait for the Dolphin tournament this weekend.

Sawyer loves being rocked on the boat ~ as you can see
he has no trouble relaxing!!

Sawyer also was out on the ocean for the first time
today, it was the perfect calm day.

While we were in the FL Bay on our way home we had
the awesome opportunity to watch someone catch a
Tarpon on fly.... we chased the experience taking photos.

The Tarpon jumping - it jumped a dozen times.


Chasing the big fish off the flat as it heads towards the ocean.


The fish is get tired.


Getting the fly back.


And the release.

It was approximately 80 pounds. Very cool!!


All that fresh air tired the kid out, but he found a great place
for a snooze...
