Got to go salt water fishing for the first time with the wifey! It was fun at first -- but it's definitely not for me 🙅 got wayyy too sea sick 🤢 Caught a couple of what the crew called "Sculpin", fish identification said it's a California Scorpion Fish and another they called "Whitefish". It was a pretty slow day, a lot of the people onboard got skunked ☹️
