I was invited to go on a fishing trip. One of the other ladies at work wanted to go but did not want to go alone (husband is not here yet) so she asked if I wanted to go. One of guys he supplies all the equipment and we just share the cost of the trip. We left about 1230 and got back around 1700. They were fishing by trolling. That's were they put out the lines and keep moving so we were able to see pretty much all of the Atoll. We even got classes on were the exits (passes) are to get from the lagoon to the ocean. Our 1st fish was a barracuda that was probably 10+ pounds but they released we of course don't eat but they said the Marshallese will eat anything if he had been a little bigger he would have ended up on some marshallese workers plate. The only other fish we caught was a 37 pound Wahoo or Ohno as they call them. We all got a hand at bringing him in and then the Captain of the trip took a bat and knocked him over the head till he was dead. After that he showed us his teeth and that pretty much covered why he used the bat. It was a beautiful day so we enjoyed the fresh sea air. After we returned the Captain fillet the fish and we all got us a gallon baggie of fish to take home and grill which the say is the best way to eat it. I am still waiting for my household goods so I will grill mine hopefully this weekend.
