My God-sons are here from Ecuador. Marten(16yo) has come several times, but this is Mattie’s(7yo) first trip to the USA. Mattie loves to fish in Ecuador, but he has only fished in stocked trout and Tilapia ponds. Today we went out on the Atlantic Ocean to fish. Mattie was super scared to get on a boat and to go out on the ocean, but Capt. Leon’s energy put him at ease and within 30 minutes he was nothing but smiles. Mattie caught the first and most fish on this trip which was fine by me and his brother as we just wanted him to have fun. We hooked up on 4 big sharks during the trip, which was a first for everyone in our group. I have caught several 2 1/2’-4’ sharks in Florida over my 25 years of living here, but nothing like these. These were 7-10’ sharks that have amazing strength and power. Mattie was even wanting to pet a shark after a hour out with Capt. Leon which says a lot about how comfortable he felt with him guiding us. The boys are here for a couple more weeks and I am hoping we can possibly get in another trip before they have to go home. Honestly this was a blast and I can’t wait to do it again!
