My father turned 70 couple weeks back and we headed down to our house in Rockport for the weekend before his birthday, I surprised him with a fishing trip on that Saturday. A friend of a friend is a guide out of Port Oconor so we braved the degree 30 air temps and 40 degree water temps and set off in search of fish. Water was way to cold for the trout to even think of biting but we did find one hole of reds that seemed endless, upper slot sizes and two over 28". Probably caught 60+ reds between the two of us. Anyway here are some pics and a short video from the trip. Have a longer video in that I am currently working on editing and will post when finished. The Guide is Captain Bryan Barnard, great guy and guide. Father with his 30" Red ![[Linked Image]](http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk306/SaltwaterKiller/FA9B8552-416B-468E-A63F-EB8409FF007B_zpsfjjxhwor.jpg) The final catch (note there is two of us and 9 reds, my friend was the third person with us but he stayed out of the picture) ![[Linked Image]](http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk306/SaltwaterKiller/AB6F9FDE-4888-4512-9EAA-0333EF34D80F_zpsnpq1kgok.jpg) The "on the Grill" and Plated version of Josie's fish and peppers. Probably the best bring your catch style fish I have ever had ![[Linked Image]](http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk306/SaltwaterKiller/B616F956-370C-4D80-9C67-6CBBE46DC35F_zpsvrmswbqn.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk306/SaltwaterKiller/E81B91F0-89BA-44A7-9963-2CEF0DB9A734_zpsgqlhkv3f.jpg) Short video of my dad landing the larger red. The red was release, GoPro ran out of Battery before the release. Thanks for looking.
HHUUMMMM, what to write, what to write, I got nothing.

Great job by all. Best eating fish in the ocean as far as I'm concerned!

That is great! Your Dad doesn't look 70. He looks like a linebacker! Good times for you guys!

Life is too short, as is. Don't chance it.
