Justin and Dads Florida Trip

Justin and dad headed to Florida this weekend to go Tarpon fishing. Our neighbors are from St. Pete and Chad has been asking Justin to come out. My dad has always wanted to go Tarpon fishing so Justin asked him to come along. They headed out Friday afternoon and sat on the plane for an hour for maintenance. After finally landing they had some dinner and headed to bed, they were getting up at 4:30 Saturday morning to meet a guide to take them out.

There was a women's Tarpon tournament going on and there were boats everywhere. Dad got a bite but then lost his fish. They saw a shark out in the distance have a tarpon for a snack, they even saw the blood in the water. They said that there were not a lot of catches that day. Even with the tournament there were only three fish turned into the weigh station.

They headed back out Sunday morning on their own and did not catch anything. They also went to Chad's uncles house and got to see his trophy room. He had so many trophy's even dad did not know what some of them were.

As we all know the Mavs are playing game 6 tonight and when they booked their flight they had no idea that the Mavs would even be playing in the playoffs or what day it would be. They had late flight out of Florida and should land in Dallas around 8:30. Justin asked me if I was going to be watching the game when it started or if I would wait for him. He could hardly stand it.
