First Time Ever In 27 years I Finally unhooked My First Fish.

Anyone who knows me should know by now since i was a child i would freak out if a fish got near me.  I am soooooo not kidding either, i would cry and have a panic attack . I even worked as a demo specialist for cross mark in Sams club, basically i was just handing out food samples.One of the samples i had to do was fish (salmon) that still had the skin on one side, i cant even tell you how long i cooked the side with the skin until it peeled off. Then i had grabbed two forks and tongs just so i didn't have to touch it that is how scared i was of it. To be fair when i was younger i was the only girl my parents where ever going to have, so they kept me girly as possible. Maybe when i was 2 and i had touched a fish, maybe it wouldn't have been like this. So my oldest brother and my youngest brother and myself where suppose to go on the deep sea charter boat in Galveston Texas, but it was cancelled so we went to this pier . Now before i go more into this not only was i absolute terrified to even bait my own hook with dead fish, but i did with squid that i cut up myself and baited it. So we are at the pier and it just starts pouring down rain,even though the pier had a roof on top it was leaking. So we are trying to put our tackle box in a dry spot along with our ciggs and lighters and cover them with a towel, and trying to hide the mullet and shrimp bait in a spot so the dang birds would stop trying to steal it.
 Let me just say it rained for three and a half hours, i wore a light pink shirt and black Capri's. When the sun started to peek out and the cloud's started moving away, my shirt was dark pink and just clinging to my skin. I caught 1 baby catfish and 1 weird looking spade-fish, I removed the baby catfish off the hook, my oldest brother Jonathon removed the spade-fish because i didn't understand how to grab it because it was flat, it was hooked way down so he helped.I was so excited and now that i had faced my fears i was finally over it .
  So this Tuesday, we finally got to go on our charter boat.It was a 4 hour fishing trip,what really ticked me off about that trip was i understand children who never been out to sea get sea sick but the older adults where doing it.The first spot we were at my youngest brother and my oldest brother where catching fish after fish so was heather, but i was the only one who wasn't getting anything . Of  course i was getting bites but wasn't actually getting anything. So there was about 50 people on this boat and they started puking then most of them where on the inside with the ac and started complaining that when they stepped out to put there line in the water they weren't catching anything   like really???
We moved to another spot and not one bite, so we moved again in much calmer water someone caught a decent size hammer head shark, pretty cool if i say so myself.
So behold the spot i was signed too i moved to front of the boat, the deckhand who was near us he was pretty cool so he didn't really care.I finally caught my first fish it was a trout and i was soo happy. Then i caught my second one i would've had gotten more but it was time to reel our lines back in and go back to the dock. So besides the whole sea sick issue it was pretty fun , i surely hope we get to go back again.....
