Also if anyone is interested id like to share a little story that goes along with that day. Btw Mike I didn’t mean to hijack your post but thought was appropriate to share with you in the joy of the moment
“ Fathers day gift early on the J2.”
On Friday June 3rd I took my special needs child on his first fishing trip aboard the J2.
Papa is so proud.... Something we talked about and prayed about every night for the last 7 years.
Priceless..... My Kiddo did great!!! . My son Joel caught 2 keeper fluke and won the hearts of everyone on the boat. What a great day, I am so blessed. Joel caught his first keeper within a few minutes of the first drop as it kept him at the rail interested in getting more bites the remainder of the trip.
Before the end of the last drift he landed his second keeper fluke. Fish on !!!!! Words can not do justice in seeing my son reel in his second fatty. While reeling in this fish as the was mate ready with the net he said, “This is my best Friday ever”.
Thank you again Capt. Ryan, Mates Kenny, and Red for such a great day fishing aboard the J2.
