I let the painter live,,,,,,I basically paid him the other half of the money to get rid of him, what a nightmare that was.

Went to Verizon and they werent gonna give me a new phone because the insurace company handles all that and they have to mail you a new phone they dont do that in stores anymore. Finally got a manager in the corporate office to talk to the manager at the store to fix me up after a two hour ordeal. I LOVE CELL PHONE COMPANIES BTW

Wife and I got everything packed and went to bed at like 10 Sunday night got up at 430 Monday to catch out 700 flight down about an hour from here.  Got there fine but did have to wait on the plane about an hour once we got there for out gate to be ready for us to unload......not sure how that worked out.

Went out on the boat that night to check the ocean and sees where at 10-12, not fun!  decided to check again in the morning and see if the bait fish where gonna bite or if we need to go buy bait.  Tuesday woke up and the trim tabs on the boat didn't work so we re-wired them cause of corrosion, fixed but the seas where still to high so no trip to the bahamas that day

Did bottom fish some Tuesday night, caught one huge sheepshead with a sand flea, had him all the way on the dock and he broke the hook but the fight was fun.  Bunch small stuff nothing else to write about.

Wednesday seas where the same so we cancelled the trip to the bahamas cause the storm that developed but we did go ahead and go fishing offshore that day. went all over from 15 miles out to just about a mile offshore looking for anything to bite but only caught those bonitas which where not good eating so I'm told.  had a blast though.  Got back home and the wife and aunt had gone to the "spa" to have pedicures done and they where on cloud nine!  I was draggin' around from the rough sea and she was rubbin it in. So i drank the pain away!

Friday the storm was on us that morning and the rain and wind where bad flight wasn't til 8 so we waited a while and at lunch called and they said everything was still on time for that flight.  We went to the biggest Bass Pro I have ever seen down in Ft Lauderdale and hung out til around 6 then to the airport where it all started to go down hill

GO to check the bag and its 8lbs over the 50lbs limit, We only took one bag, so I cram some clothes into my bookbag and get it below the limit, great huh? WRONG the pants that i put in my bookbag where the same pants i used to put my knife in so I don't loose it in the big bag.  Get to the check point and they pull me to the side and I have to explain the story, they let me through but I had to through away my favorite knife!  dangit!

Get to our gate to board at 645, flight suppose to leave at 750.......DELAYED!!!!  10:02 was the first time we got after the delayed was posted.... Ok still be home at midnight or before.  Well the gate next door was an international flight to Frankfuret... they lined up at the gate and blocked up our departure gate and another so we had to wait for them to clear out before they would start boarding. they got everyone on and guess what "overbooked" everyone  had to get off and then back on with a couple folks taking a different flight the next day.

We taxi out to the runway and the pilot comes on teh intercom and says we are being delayed because there is a bag on teh runway that "musta fell of another plane" great news to hear! lol  we wait for 45mins to get a clear runway and a double check on all luggage compartments and take off. Land at 12ish wait 45minutes for the luggage to start coming out and get home around 2ish......lovely right.. Now go back and imagine all that with a sun burn so bad that your blistering and can't put pressure on your back without cringing in pain... OH and not having any leg room to boot cause you don't have an exit row that you are promised! lol

22# Atlantic Bonito?? Dude I think you caught an "all tackle" world record. Did you or your guide try to contact the IGFA or bring it to a certified weigh station?
