Flipper Serves Sushi - Day 4 Costa Rica

Flipper brought us Sushi !!





Yes, exciting. But what about the billfish. Well, while I was sliding the last piece of sashimi in, the captain started yelling. The two deck hands were jumping from pole to pole because a big fish was attacking all the baits. We hooked it. I played it for about four seconds and it threw the hook. The captain said it was a Blue Marlin. Small, about 180 pounds.... but it would have been my biggest fish ever. The rest of the day turned out to be a long boat ride. Five minutes before we left for shore, Katie spotted a sailfish. The captain turned around, but we couldn't raise him.

It was still a great day !!!
