Fishing is my job. I grew up in New England. I have a truck. I don't play baseball.
Speaker 2
My son plays soccer. I eat fish. I am from New England too. I moved to California. I have never driven cross country.
Speaker 1
Hi, did you see the baseball game last night?
Speaker 2
No, I didn't. My son had soccer practice. How was the game?
Speaker 1
Was good. I watched it while I was out on the fishing boat.
Speaker 2
You fish? Sport fishing or do you catch and eat?.
Speaker 1
It's my job. I like fish too but I would never turn down lasagna.
Speaker 2
I try to cook healthy, so we eat a lot of fish..
Speaker 1
I grew up in new england so I've always eaten a lot of fish.
Speaker 2
Oh really? I'm from new england too. Recent transplant to ca.
Speaker 1
Did you drive out there? I love road trips in my truck.
Speaker 2
Yeah. It was great! I never drove crosscountry before..
Speaker 1
I always drive to all of my baseball games no matter how far.
Speaker 2
Do you play? My son wants to start..
Speaker 1
No I just watch..
Speaker 2
Are you still living in new england?

Speaker 2
My son plays soccer. I eat fish. I am from New England too. I moved to California. I have never driven cross country.
Speaker 1
I caught an impressive fish. 
Speaker 2
Oh really?  What kind of fish did you catch?  I love to eat fish, but have never really been fishing.
Speaker 1
It was a big ole Blue Marlin! What kind of fish do you enjoy eating? Do you have any suggestions on cooking fish?
Speaker 2
I actually enjoy fresh salmon, which I just saute with some butter and garlic.  I have never tried any Blue Marlin.  That must have been fun catching it.  I miss living in New England.  Do you still live there?
Speaker 1
I do still live in New England. It was quite exciting when I caught it. I've always noticed that the boxes of fish fry are always so salty. 
Speaker 2
Yes, they really are.  You can actually just make your own by mixing different spices together, and its not nearly as salty.  
Speaker 1
I bought some immediately regretted it afterwards, because of the saltiness. I also noticed that it's way easier to cook fish in butter rather than oil, if it's not breaded. How is it living in California?
Speaker 2
Well, California has beautiful beaches.  The cities are getting a little bit crazy.  The homeless situation is out of control.  
Speaker 1
Do you ever miss being in New England? Do they have a plan for the homeless? What do you mean the cities are getting crazy?
Speaker 2
I just mean they are getting crazy due to the homeless situation.  I feel bad for them, but there are needles and excrement on the streets.  Very unsanitary.  I really do miss New England.  I hope to move back someday.
Speaker 1
I bet that's very scary having a child in those conditions! I would yell if I saw someone just throw a needle down. Those kind of people are selfish! They have places to dispose of them!! Have you ever been on the Golden Gate Bridge?
Speaker 2
No, I have never been to the Golden Gate Bridge, but plan on going one day.  So what kind of truck do you drive?

Speaker 1
Hello again!  Has your son had a soccer game since we last chatted?
Speaker 2
Yes, unfortunately it was a disaster!  He broke his ankle on a really ugly tackle.  He'll be in a cast for weeks and probably miss the rest of the season.
Speaker 1
Oh no! That is terrible news. How is he doing? He must be so sad.
Speaker 2
Yes, he's devastated.  I'm much more worried about his emotional wellbeing than his physical health.  He's so active that he's having a hard time dealing with the thought of not being able to play sports and do what his friends do.  Although I think he'll get back to some level of activity more quickly than he thinks.
Speaker 1
I can imagine. Has he ever been fishing? It's physical, but relaxing, and you don't have to use your ankle!
Speaker 2
That's a great idea!  He's never been fishing but now might be a good time to introduce him to it.  I just don't want him vegging out playing video games or staring at a tablet and sulking for weeks.
Speaker 1
Right, kids need to spend time outside. Let me know if the two of you want to come fishing with me. Maybe we'll catch a Blue Marlin and then have it for dinner!
Speaker 2
That would be amazing.  How has the fishing been since we last talked?
Speaker 1
It has been really good. The water has been calm and the fish abundant. I have been eating fish for dinner every single night. Nothing beats New England fishing!
Speaker 2
I had a really great piece of grilled salmon the other night.  Some friends invited us over and cooked it on the barbecue.  Boy that was a treat.
Speaker 1
That sounds very nice. Did you have any sides with the salmon?
Speaker 2
Yes, my friend cooked some asparagus, some wild rice, and then we had some strawberry shortcake for dessert.  I'm going to have to invite them over for dinner to pay them back.

I caught a big marlin the other day!
Speaker 2
Oh wow, congrats. How much did it weigh? Are you going to do a fish fry with it?
Speaker 1
It weighed about 200 lbs.  I am going to cook it up, eat it, feed my family, trade some with friends and then freeze the rest
Speaker 2
That's amazing! Is that the biggest one you've ever caught? Did you have to use a crane to haul it into the fishing boat? So awesome. Man alive, I'd love to taste that one.
Speaker 1
That the biggest one I have caught.  Myself a few members of my crew battled for over an hour before it tired out.
Speaker 2
Get any video? I bet you could get some hits online for that one! I know I'd love to see it. Anyway, congrats again. Amazing catch. You planning on going again soon?
Speaker 1
No, unfortunately we didn't have time to take any video.  Yeah, I'll go back out in a week or two.  I have to get this one cut up and processed first.
Speaker 2
Makes sense. I'm sure it takes time to deal with 200 lbs of fish. So what else do you have going on? What're the kids up to?
Speaker 1
They are helping me process the fish.  How is your son doing?
Speaker 2
He's doing okay. He was sidelined from playing ball because of his ankle, so he's been playing more video games. Mostly Mario.
Speaker 1
How long does he have to stay off of his ankle?
Speaker 2
A few more weeks and then they'll recheck it to see how it's healing.

Speaker 2
I live in the middle of California. So 
Speaker 1
Are you near the coast around santa barbara. That would  be a beautiful area to visit. I think Oprah has a ranch there
Speaker 2
The coast is about an hour away from me so kina close to the beach, but not Santa Barbara. I didn't know Oprah had a ranch there, cool.
Speaker 1
The movie The Birds was filmed at bodega bay. 
Speaker 2
I didn't know that either. I need to go to the coast more. Did you like the movie The Birds?
