We caught a lot of 1/2 fish. That's where you get the snapper up to the boat, then the sharks take everything but the heads.

Cleaning time, in Texas it is illegal to clean fish on the boat!

I put this trip together because it may be the last big family get together until my funeral. The dead line has pasted for me getting on the liver/kidney transplant list. So . . .
Who knows what the future will hold for me.

Prayers for you and your families my friend. Enjoy each and every moment of life to its finest, and only recognize the memories you share with them will be cherished for ages to come. Keep going forward, and post as many non-gill photos as you can to share your precious memory with us.
