First ocean fishing trip. Won’t be my last

[brockel]

Wife and I and a couple friends went out for a first ever ocean fishing trip. We went and spend a few days in Ilwaco Washington and had a blast. We brought home about 250lbs of fish. It won’t be our last trip that is for sure. We got to see sea lions, dolphins, whales, jellyfish, and sharks. Most probably don’t think it’s a big deal but it was really cool to us from eastern Montana

Man, albacore and assorted rockfish is about as good as it gets for eating. Nice work!!

I’ve got two pairs of those things left. Starting to look a little rough though. Not as much basketball being played on them anymore so they will last a little longer

@brockel here I thought I was the only one Still rocking those Adidas from high school! Looks like an awesome time!

Edit @FoodIsMemories beat me to it.

Looks like an awesome trip, going to have to let us know how some of the fish tastes. But it is time to move onto the grass-stained New Balances, Adidas only reminds me of middle school acronyms.

A lot of miles left in those things

Freezer filled fillets! What types of fish were you pulling?

I'd call your fishing on the flip side - call that catching!

Awesome fun! Some 20 years(+), a few buddies and I went to Sea of Cortez and hauled in bonito, etc! We had a block party, garlic oil fish fry as if fish were unlimited! You've brought back fond memories of that - you may have inspired thoughts for a part Deux!

Nice fill! Thanks for sharing. Awesome pics!

I drew this up when I was like 13… when I turned 17 I had my mom fax ID over my dads head to get it inked… dickies work pants and adidas shell toes— pissin on a RAT…. Been many years now and some may think it’s silly, but I love it.

*Reminder: omertà don’t tell on your friends…..

Looks like fun...but for sure don't wear your good shoes

I’ve got 5 pairs of shoes total. Two pairs of hunting boots, pair of work boots, and two pairs of these. Figured salt water wouldn’t be good on the leather work and hunting boots

You got a whole bunch of good eats there. Really glad you guys did so well.

Rockfish are outstanding to eat.
