Real big fish... and golf balls

A few weeks ago I went on a guys weekend... Kenya style.  Does that mean going out 4 wheel Driving looking at animals... of course not.  We did not deviate one bit from what we could have done in the states.  We went golfing on the coast with a day of deep sea fishing thrown in.

Seven guys from the embassy, four days, 6 cases of beer, two bottles of bourbon, and some poker chips made a fantastic long weekend. The golf was spectacular, but the highlight was the one day we went fishing (we can't survive on golf alone).

I say the fishing was good, and it was, but it was not what I expected.  My boat caught only two fish, one right after another... after 4 hours of trolling.  I was lucky enough to reel one of them in; a nice size sailfish that was making advertisement brochure leaps out of the water.

The experience was too short lived, only about 10 minutes on the reel, but it was worth it.  It was no marlin but it was pretty impressive none the less.

Yup, check that one off the list.
