For their birthday this year, Frick and Frack (that’s my husband and his twin, in case you were having trouble following there) got to go on a fishing boat in Cabo with their friends Sleepy E, Wobbie, and Vegas. It was Sleepy E’s idea (shout out to him and the lady), and it totally rocked.
It wasn’t supposed to be a whale-watching tour, but they got to see THIS:
And then, to top it all off, Chris caught a 160# Striped Marlin. Well, it was really a collective effort, but Chris happened to be the one holding the reel at the time so he got the credit:
After you catch the fish, they give you a couple of options. You can keep it, or you can throw it back. If you choose to keep it, you can either ship the meat to your house or donate it to the tour boat operators as part of their gratuity (so it doesn’t go to waste). But if you choose to keep it, after you’ve figured out what you want to do with the meat, you can then choose to HAVE IT MOUNTED AND MAILED TO YOUR HOUSE. For a fee, of course.
Let’s think about this for a minute, and see if you can figure out which option my husband chose. And remember, this is the guy who wanted Big Buck Hunter in our front entryway.
If you guessed, “MOUNT IT!” you guessed correctly. In just a few weeks, plus fees and shipping and handling, we will be the proud owner of a 160# striped marlin to hang over the Big Buck Hunter game in our foyer.
This man needs a man cave STAT. Before my foyer starts looking like a Bass Pro Shop.
