We had a spectacular time in Florida and we caught lots of fish! The final count of our catch was:
Frank: 13 Ladyfish, 11 Lizard fish, a spotted sea trout, 2 Spanish mackerel, 5 grunts and a greenback (baitfish)
Esther: 6 Ladyfish, 6 Lizard fish, 1 Spanish Mackerel, 11 Grunts ( I believe some of these were Pompano), 1 pinfish, a baby Tilefish, and a sand crab
So you can see Frank outfished me on this trip!
Here are some of our catch.

I pulled in some sea weed and this little fish fell out! It is a TileFish. So I think I get the prize for the smallest fish.

I also caught this little creature which is called a Sand Flea or Sand Crab.
