It was a slow day of fishing due to a very sunny and cloudless day. However, I was well rewarded and quite happy with this 2.2 kilo bass (5 lb). I was fishing with very light tackle and 6 lb line, so it was quite a fight with lots of jumping! Even the local fisherman were impressed by the size of the bass, they told me I was quite lucky. Being humble, I chose not to correct them ;)
Here is my friend Stacy with a Mango Jack Snapper, a tasty bottom fish!
The Snapper an hour later, prepared Thai style. Excellent!!
We enjoyed our fresh fish, fresh prawns (also caught by Stacy in a prawn pool), and a nice red wine at a seaside diner, very nice!!
Paying the price - can you say sunscreen?

Holy crap, that looks painful!
Croghan, are you talking about the fish, or the fisherman?
Nice bass.

Um, honney, it's "delicious" bass... And it did look quite delicious. Mmmmm.
We keep looking at this post because it has so may pictures of you. I think Kieran's favorite is the close up of your sunburned face. He smiles and points and talks to you. It's so cute!
