The Bahamas – Days 5 & 6

Hello everyone! Gonna keep today’s post short and sweet. It’s sunny and warm and nice outside, and I need to take advantage of it. Anyways, on Wednesday we went snorkeling out on this little cove just east of Paradise Island and Atlantis. Interesting that the one day I’ll be in the water for over an hour is the day that it gets cold and cloudy. Thank God for wet suits! Anyways, I discovered and swam through an old shipwreck from World War II, and I was able to see awesome things such as sea anemone, lobster, and stingray. Quite the site!

Getting things ready for the scuba excursion.

I look retarded in neoprene...just sayin

As for today, I woke up early to venture out on a fishing boat to do some deep sea fishing. Now, I’ve never been deep sea fishing before so I wasn’t really sure what to expect. Little did I know that fish are apparently hungry on Thursday mornings as they were biting like crazy. I was somehow the lucky, and worn out, soul who nabbed a 60 lb 53″ Mahi Mahi! Let me tell you, those suckers do NOT go down without a fight to the finish. My arm is still sore from trying to reel that thing in!

I might be smiling, but I was exhausted from fighting that big guy.

Me - 1, fish - 0. Barely.

And like I said, I wasn’t the only one to get some great catches. One kid even scored a 6ft marlin!

This was the "average" catch. No complaints here.

Ended the day on a marlin catch. Definitely a good ending.

Alright, time for me to catch some sun!
