Fishing Southern California, USA

Every time I go home my father wants to take me fishing with him.  He goes quite often in his free time.  I always like going because there is always the potential to see a whale.  No one had seen a whale so far this season, but I had a feeling that we would see a whale.  I was very lucky that the water was quite calm because sometimes I can get seasick.  It was a fun day of fishing.  I caught 15 fish, but only one fish was a keeper.  There was another fish I felt I had on the line which was quite heavy, but a sea lion got it before I could reel it in!!  The one fish I kept was not that big, however, it won me the jackpot on the boat!!  I had never won before, so that was pretty cool.  Plus we saw a California Grey Whale!!!  Later in the evening my parents and I went to see the Christmas lights at the harbor.  They were quite nice! 
Seasons Greetings!!
