did someone say FLOUNDER?

Last weekend Ben and his father participated in a Flounder Tournament in the Chesapeake Bay. The bad news is....it lasted ALL day! The good news? Lots and lots of FLOUNDER! {For those of you who don't have the luxury of eating this amazingly delicious fish, well, it is amazingly delicious. It is by far my favorite fish to eat. Flaky, white meat. Yumm-O!}
Oh, and Pam and Penny--do you remember the "Good News, Bad News Joke Book?"

Since it was a tournament--there had to be a winner.

And, the winner is?

Drumroll, please!

Turkey Man and Crew :)

They won the tournament. 1st place. They had the most amount of weight combined--with Flounder, that is!
We went out to Benji's to help clean up the boat and get some pictures. The boys had fun playing with the fish. I enjoyed eating the fish. {Hey, we all have our priorities, right?}


a {cute} little puffer fish! how fun!



Ben was so excited to tell me that the fish were HUGE. Well, when I saw them, I was expecting HUGE fish. And, then I remembered...these aren't halibut. Halibut are HUGE. But, these are pretty big for being Flounder....they did win the tourney, remember!

Preston staring at the fish.....giving the {disgusting} face. I hear ya, bud!

Parker with his shirt on playing with the fishUntil I realized that when the fish slip out of his hands, they slap on the ground, and he is left with slime all over him! Now, shirtless!

  1. Of course I remember. Wasn't one of the jokes something like:

    It's good news when...Your parents take you on a vacation to Europe.

    It's bad news when...You have to row the boat to get there!

    Or something like that. I seem to remember a cartoon with a kid saying, "But Dad! I don't want to go to Europe!" and the dad says, "Shut up, kid, and keep rowing!" :)

    Too much fun!

    BTW, we would have appreciated some of that yummy flounder coming our way... ;)
