Andy took a "mental health day" from work on Friday and went fishing. It was a much needed break after a long cross country season and even longer basketball season. He had been talking about going fishing for quite some time, and the weather was absolutely beautiful and perfect on Friday. On Thursday night he told me that he wasn't going to keep any reds or trout if he caught them because we have quite a bit of red snapper from family friend. But... if he caught a flounder, he was keeping it, no questions asked. He has been wanting to make stuffed flounder ever since he started kayak fishing.
Well, God heard him and answered him.... On Andy's first cast of the day, he caught an 18" flounder!!! Total for the day was 5 flounder, but he kept only two. Overall, I would say that was a pretty successful trip.
On Saturday, Andy filleted the flounder and stuffed it with crab meat for dinner. There's nothing like fresh fish straight from the ocean cooked within 24 hours of it being alive.
