I caught a fish! (287 KB of pics Dial Up users beware??)

Last week, *Company* took management on a teambuilding thingamy. We went out on a catamaran, and did deep sea fishing. And yes, I caught a fish! (Well, two, but one was undersized...). A Red Roman! Reeling up a fish through 70+ metres of water is more work that you think it would be :)

AND we saw whales! A mom and her calf. They ended up circling us and almost chasing us, causing the captain to panic and get out of there. Very awesome.
ETA : We didn't have a zoom on the camera. At one point the whales were roughly 20 metres away from the boat. HOW COOL!

That is incredibly cool! I'd love to see whales, though I imagine it was a little tense when they were that close.

I've never heard of a Red Roman, are they tasty? That's a nice-sized fish. Good catch! :)

Woot!! well done! :D

I did the deep sea fishing a couple of years ago... you caught 2 more than me :p

Whales.. cool!!! So.. you had a whale of a time (yep, getting in first )

I'm constantly amazed how, if you don't see the tail, pictures of whales in the water generally look like rocks surfacing.

But that is one cool fish! Is purdy. :D

Cool! I have always wanted to go deep sea fishing. Looks like great fun (if you like to fish, which I do.):D

Great job...hope you had a lot of fun and hope you go out to do it again, perhaps with the tall one...i went deep sea fishing once and well, lets put it this way, i did a better job baiting the fish than I actually did catching the fish.

Fishing is fun, just I prefer to be on dry land!
