Virginia and I enjoyed a great deep sea fishing trip this morning with President Jerry Boggess of the Fort Lauderdale Temple, his wife Portia, and President Bob Beck (1st counselor) and his wife Wyla. The group caught a total of seven fish in short order. Only two were considered edible, both king mackerels, and the other five, known as bonita, were kept as bait for future expeditions. The smaller of the mackerels was the featured meat for a lovely lunch the Boggesses served us afterwards, and we got to bring home part of the bigger one for future enjoyment. The following are a few photos of the event. Click on any to enlarge them.
