Species #101 — Pacific Bonito

I really like a horizontal picture with fish facing to the right. That’s kind of my schtick. Yet for both trips I’ve went fishing for Pacific Bonito, I’ve never gotten one. Here’s to hoping I get one next time.

Species: Pacific Bonito (Bagre marinus)
Location: Bayou Texar, Houston, TX
Date: August 2, 2017

Apart from my immediate family (parents and brothers), I don’t get to fish with family much. I often offer, but few people take me up on it, and that’s okay.

But when I finally convince a family member to go with me, it’s always a blast. Such was the case when I caught my first Pacific Bonito. It was the same trip I hooked my first Yellowtail.

In this photo, I was 100% checking out an attractive girl. She kept calling me “Lucky Duck” and hitting on me, and why didn’t I get her number?
