Guest Bill here:
Just wanted to tell you a fast story; something that took place yesterday. Steve is the person that reeled in the dinner yesterday.
The Mahi Mahi was at least a 3-1/2 footer. First let me tell you a little about Steve. When you are around him you really need to be on the ball as his mind and sense of humor is always moving faster than anyone can catch up to. When you think you have him figured out and the direction he's headed with his story he takes right or left turns on you. Always the end punch line is funny, but sometimes it takes a bit of thinking before you get it. On this trip Steve seems to be the guilty party of everything that has gone wrong or bad. Weather he is truly involved or not, he will get blamed for it. You heard earlier about the problem with the toiletswill it was Steve that did it and at one time we were down to 1 that worked. Steve was not allowed to come close to that one. By the way we are back to 3 working toilets so I'd say all is going well.well Steve got the fish hauled in and up on the aft deck of the Straycat. He got a hold of the fishes head and stuck it into a 5 gallon !
bucket head first with the body and tail sticking straight up in the air. What Steve had not thought about was the tail fin which was at his face height. Every time the fish struggled Steve was getting slapped in the face by the fin. Maybe you would have had to been there to really see this, but the look on Steves face was of absolute dumbfounded bewilderment and he looks at me and says"I'm getting bitched slapped by a fish"!!!...I for one have not stopped laughing about it.
The cold I came on this vacation with has moved into my chest, and since seeing this I'm exhausted from laughing and coughing at the minds picture of this sight of the fish slapping him and that look on his face.PS: it was a male Mahigo figure.
