Just after noon today Jerry was changing out a bad light fixture on the pier. You can see he took a fishing rig with him as the reel is just past the next post on the rail.

 I heard him scream and bound down from the ladder. I thought he had been shocked. What he saw was this shark taking off with the perch he had staked out.

He was using a small rod and reel that Marvin gave him last year. There was no way to lift the shark up so he had to walk it all the way to the HEB shoreline. I filleted it out and we took it to Alice Faye's so have some grilled and some fried. We did have a great lunch.
Speaking of Alice Faye's, it has been sold to some Croatian investors. They purchased the whole area, bait stand and all. They will be closing for remodeling soon and the reopen with mostly the same staff. Alice has agreed to manage it for them for one year.
