What a catch!

This year's trip to Seattle was laden with list of must do's for the kids. It was Ethan's first visit to Seattle and Aidan is finally old enough to participate in more activities. To be a Tran is to fish or love eating it! My brother Thao ( who Aidan calls " Gao Sau") took Aidan on a very memorable fishing trip off of West Seattle where this picture was taken.

My dad is the greatest fisherman I know. This salmon he's holding weighed in at 28 pounds! My mom is a great cook and my dad always brought home fresh ingredients. To this day, I have a hard time buying seafood from the store because no matter how "fresh" the sign may suggest, it's never fresh enough.
What a beauty!
One of the many highlights of Aidan's adventure with Gao Sau was to be able to drive the boat.

Aidan's first catch was on Gao Sau's fishing rod. Believe it or not, Aidan's Spiderman fishing pole that is only as long as he is tall works great. Aidan caught his second flounder on his own rod while we were all in disbelief he caught on to fishing so quickly.
