Last weekend, Adam went down to Florida to go fishing for Memorial Day. Adam, his dad, Ed, his brother, Mason, and his two brother-in-laws, Steve and Tripp all piled in a car for the 9-hour drive on Thursday. Apparently, they were very successful! They chartered a 45-foot boat for two days in Fort Pierce. The weather did not exactly cooperate but they persevered through the 5-7 foot seas. Between the two days, they caught 25 dolphin fish, 4 sailfish, 1 cobia, and 1 amber jack (Adam’s 40 pound baby). The seas were so rough that they were the only boat to go out the first day. They were featured in the Treasure Coast Fishing Report for May 26, 2009! (http://www.tcpalm.com/news/2009/may/25/treasure-coast-fishing-report-may-26/) In all the excitement, Adam unfortunately lost his wedding band. It is now about 150 feet deep of the coast of Florida! I keep teasing him that he did it on purpose before he leaves for a bachelor party this weekend and that I am going to put a sharpie mark on his finger before he goes. They all returned home safely on Monday with 5 coolers full of 130 pounds of fish. The whole family gathered at Ed and Cyndi’s and cooked the famous “Parrish Fish Dish”- which was delicious. Then the boys divvied up all of the fish and we arrived home that night with 30 pounds of fresh fish!
