Third trip out on the boat. We started trolling about 5 miles out from Sterling. Waves were 3 - 4 feet. It was Frank, my 6 yr old son, 2 other boys aged 11 and 13 and myself. We all had a queasy feeling. We had the first fish on within 20 mins. on a crawler harness and bb. The oldest fought the fish but it got off near the boat. Another 20 mins and the goes my rod again. This time the middle aged boy went and he got it in. The eye went a modest 20". Within moments of getting the line back out, he got sick. Then the oldest, then my son. So we headed back in. 1 fish in 1 hour. When we got back they said they all had fun and can't wait to do it again. Just not when its o choppy.
