Fishing Expedition!!

Yesterday I went fishing with Matt, Michael, and Michael's brother Steven.... It was so fun!! We got to St. Mark's at like noon and stayed until 7:30.... We didn't have very much luck at the first spot we stopped at.... all we hooked at the second place was a HUGE alligator! But then the park rangers came by and told us where the best fishing was! Yay thank you rangers! We get to the spot and hadn't been fishing long and this guy came by and gave us a HUGE redfish! It was well over the 18" min size limit and barely under the 28" max size. Then Matt caught a pretty good sized bass and we caught a bunch of bream. It was sooo fun!! Then we got back in town and I had to clean all the fish an cook them. Everything was easy until I started cleaning the Redfish.... now I see why most people filet redfish.... there was no easy scaling to be done.... I had to pry the scales off this fish! They were the size of quarters!! Cutting through the backbone while trying to make steaks posed another problem... I almost needed a saw! That was hard! We didn't get any pictures of the fish but to put it in prespective..... I cut eight 2.5" steaks... so as you can now envision it was pretty big! The head is still outside so I should get a picture of it! Anyway... more later... I'm heading out to Alabama!
