The fishing trip definitely was a highlight of our cruise. We spent 3 hours fishing with the fishermen, Bill, Jeremy and Kyle on the Magnum II. Kyle was Bill's grandson and was learning the ropes. He didn't do bad for a 14 year old. Jeremy really earned his money with our trip. It must have been lady luck as they would continue to say. We caught 24 fish total. Four others were either to little or got off prior to getting in the boat. Jason didn't even complain about getting his picture taken here. It really was a beautiful place.
Our fish - 1 King (big one in the middle) 4 Chum (big dark one on your right side) 3 Silver (big silver one on your left side) and the rest are pink.

This was not deep sea fishing it was close to shore with several other boats around us.
We had four different poles out at different levels and with different bait on them. The fish bat was Jason's favorite part of the trip. He liked whacking a fish.
We started catching fish right off. We took turns every 4th a we all had plenty of fish. We asked Jeremy how many fish they usually catch as Carol's and Derrek's last trip was not good. They only caught 1 fish between them all. He would not tell us. But he did say that we had Lady Luck on our side.
carol and her king - what where is Derrek?
Most of the time our main fisherman stayed under driving and looking for fish. When a King is on all the poles are pulled in and he moves to the top of the boat to help watch and to chase the king driving from top the boat if needed. The Kings Swim away very fast pulling. Carol got a work out!
a pretty good start for the first 30 minutes of fishing

Catching fish was fun but it really was a pretty place. Seeing the wildlife and just being on the water was great.
We caught a cooler full, finally Jeremy said that we caught alot more that usual. They don't usually catch as many as we got on a full day of fishing. So when you go fishing make sure you take some women with ya for some lady luck! Could have been that we were raised by a fisherman!

Eagles
They run the Submarines in the area where we were for testing. They monitor the noises so they know that they are US subs.
Seeing as we most likely won't be fishing here again we can give you a shot of the hot fishin' spot.
The Marina
There are 14 decks on the ship. We were on deck 10 room 10567. Carol and Derrek were just down the hall. I was constantly turned around on the ship. The one good thing is that the carpet was covered with fish and of course the fish swim up steam towards the front of the boat.

Which Way? I wasn't the only on confused at times. 
Our room was a nice little place. I imagined a tiny full bed with no room to breath but it wasn't, it was great. The maid placed animal towels on our beds a few nights when they turned down the bed. It was nice to be waited on for a week. I miss this part. There was a TV in the room with a station showing the video from the front of the boat. You could see what was going on right from your room. 
Each stair well had beautiful pictures of different sea animals. 
This was our meeting place for emergencies. After trying to get off the boat the first day I can see why they want you to meet somewhere besides the stair wells. 
I really enjoyed watching the water from the back of the ship. 
Jason enjoyed watching the coast guard with their loaded machine guns.
