A fishing trip that almost went south in a hurry, 2004

This trip could be titled "Fisherman over board." On this trip, we didn't have our main crew to go fish with us. Only 3 of the main ones were able to go (Jeff M, Matthew C, and me). We picked up 3 new guys to help us cut down on the cost. Only 1 of those 3 actually fished that day with us. One of the guys JJ, got sunburned so bad the day before that he didn't even make the trip that morning. Another one Allen, was sick after being on the boat for about 4 hours. I thought our deck mate Jason was going to throw him overboard at one point. Allen wasn't use to this kind of fishing and he tried to set the hook on every fish so Capt Kelly about had a heart attack I do believe. Allen would run all over that boat when he hooked up on a fish. "He's out of control" is what Capt Kelly kept screaming down at Jason. Allen and Jeff never hit it off either. After Allen got sick enough to go lay down then I knew Jeff was good to go. Jeff would have killed him if it had lasted another hour. The one bright side was that the other guy Jason D caught the biggest grouper that I have seen caught on Capt Kelly's boat. We all got our picture taken with it since it was a nice size grouper
