Saltwater fishing is one of my most favorite hobbies. I decided to give Melanie a break this past weekend so the kids and I went to their grandparents house. James, my father-in-law, and I love to fish. We got there around 7pm Friday and Dad, James, and I went straight from his house to one of our favorite spots to fish, we did not pass GO and we did not collect $200….we went FISHING!!!! Oh, they live about 5 minutes from the bay we fish in. So we got all setup and did some really nice night fishing. Let me tell you, there is something about fishing at night. It is so peaceful and amazing. I caught 2 Black Drum that night. The next day we took Aaron with us and caught 2 Red fish. The picture below shows the Reds. Guess which one is mine, let me give you a hint…it is not the small one!!!! This is a 29″ Red fish and it was awesome getting that sucker in! I think God was proud of me because when you look at the picture you can see his “rays of glory” shinning on me
