About halfway in the trip, we caught our big break and caught ALOT of fish! We got a skate fish, 5 halibut, and 5 black bass! We also caught some "uglies" as they are called and threw them back. They're bottom feeders and are not good eating that we were told. My first fish I caught was an "ugly" and then I caught a bass! It was the biggest one of the sea bass we caught! Ha! The halibut we caught weren't huge, but they were huge to us!
Our awesome catch!

Hopefully we catch some more fish on our next fishing trip. If you come up to visit we will take you out fishing! I got to drive the boat when we were trolling for salmon and our captain said I did great! (It's from those fishing days with my mom and dad in CA). Our total weight of fish we caught was 40 pounds! Turned out to be an awesome day of fishing!
