Wednesday, 5/17: Day 10. Pretty fun day today. We got to Jordan's house at 8:30 and headed right to the docks. We had tons of plastic bags full of frozen cuts of various fish, mostly tuna. We spent the whole morning at the docks on the filet table, cutting those large cuts into strips to be used for bait. It was harder than cutting strips sounds. You had to do it a certain way, so the strips were perfectly symmetrical thus being properly aerodynamic to look like a fish when being dragged through the water. You couldn't leave too much meat on the strips, but you couldn't leave to little either. I got this down pretty quickly, and felt like a true fisherman going through the motions on the dock for a few hours, cutting probably hundreds of bait strips. Afterwards we watched all the fish under the dock which was basically like being at an aquarium, and a local fisherman by us let me hook onto a huge Tarpin fish which was one of the biggest fish I'd ever seen. The line snapped pretty quickly, there was no chance of me reeling it in. We wrapped up the day around noon with a newfound knowledge of how to properly prepare bait strips. 

Today's time: 3.5 hours

Total time: 65 hours
