I’m crazy
about deep sea fishing. I go out of Gloucester. My daughters
like to come with me sometimes. The first time Stephanie went
out deep sea fishing, she was 17. She ended up catching the
biggest fish on the boat, a 20 pound cod, won the $240 pool.
There she was, my little red head, yelling for help, which I
wouldn’t give her. She pulls the fish to the surface of the
water, all by herself, looks down and says “Holy cow, is that
mine??”
She beat out a
bunch a guys, old die hard fishermen, with their custom rods and
their overalls and hand tied jigs.
I caught a wave of grief from
those guys for a whole year…and from my daughter, who
soaked up the glory for at least that long! |
