island style shark tale

osprey heading out to deep waters

our last day on the island sent kat and #1 son deep sea fishing.  they went about twenty miles out to sea. 

deep sea fishing from south padre island

she caught two atlantic sharpnose sharks. 

north atlantic sharpnose shark

these are not engangered and she made good use of them.  their fillets are flakey white meat that she breaded and fried, then portioned and froze for her lunches.  it was good!  she used the rest of the shark to make shark's fin soup.

the real prize was the BIG red snapper she caught.

she opted to not pay to have it professionally filleted.  we got a lot more from it that way. 

happy kat

she was so happy!
