Deep Sea Fishing

Ry went on a "boy's weekend" to Florida last week. Here is what he had to say about it...

I had the chance to go deep sea fishing in Florida last weekend with some guys from work. We drove from Nashville to Destin, FL, where one of the guys has a beach house. We then took a charter out about 45 miles off the gulf coast and fished for a few hours. We were fishing in 350 feet of water and caught 36 fish between 6 guys. We caught grouper, amberjack, red snapper and scamps. Our biggest fish were about 35 lbs. We ended up with about 100 lbs in filets and had a great time! Enjoy the pictures

Of course, what I see is...defenseless animals fighting for their life, barbarically hung by their lip from a hook, and paraded on hooks by their eye balls at the end of the day to show man's dominance. This might have to be a hobby Ry enjoys without me :)






Do you like Ry's fishing hat??? It was new for the trip - a "Congrats, You're a Chief!!" gift. You know, the Hartman's can't travel without buying something new for the trip! Below are some more pictures of his fun weekend. Double click on the slideshow to see the pictures bigger.

Hmmm...I think I'm with you Heather on the whole "leaving it to the guys." The hanging by their eye sockets at the end of the day was a nice touch. yuck. Glad you had fun though Ryan!

Okay Heather so I have to say I am so impressed with you. You let Ryan go on a trip without you. Was that hard? :> Does Ryan actually have a hobby now?
