Final Hawaii - Birthday Sushi

We planned a fishing trip one early morning. We connected up with Alibi Fishing and the brave souls that ventured out were my dad, my mom, Brandon, and myself.The captain of the boat told us that the worst day fishin' was better than the best day at work.... so having this in mind we set out for fishing spot "F". On the way there we trolled for marlin but didn't see anything or have any hits. The waters were a bit rough and mom ended up with her head in the bucket. She was "green" for most of the trip so I had to take the picture. If it is any concession, we did feel sorry for her....
As for the fishing it was on rare occasion that we didn't have 2 tuna on at one time. They were not the biggest of fish but they put up a heck of a fight.
In all I think we caught about 25 or so in a matter of an hour and a half of actual hard fishing.
We then had one of the deck hands slice up a couple and enjoyed the fine taste of fresh, fresh tuna. Although Brandon and I were the only ones in the mood for some fresh sushi. The next evening for dinner we cured the rest of the fillets and enjoyed some of the best fish fresh from the Pacific Ocean to the grill on the deck of the beach house.
We also celebrated a birthday(s) when we were in Hawaii as Ava and Caden turned 3 on April 9th. Time flies... ;)
