I recently had my first salt water fishing trip to Laguna Madre with my buddy Larry. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laguna_Madre
This was the maiden voyage of Larry's new salt water boat. We had a fun day and even brought home a few fish. Larry landed the big one which took about 25 minutes to land. Just north of 15lbs. The great thing about salt water is, you NEVER know what you will pull in. I caught a sting ray and Larry caught crabs. (ha,ha)
