Chapters
The Rhodes annual vacation to Florida started out strong with fishing. He's got a bunch of fishing poles. Who's gonna catch the biggest fish? Me. Me. Well, everybody says me. I bet it's going to be Josiah. Might be Big Daddy. No. Maybe Lily. It's her first time, right? Yeah. This guy is so spiny, you got to be really careful when you hold them. I'm gonna set them on you just like that, okay? Go ahead and grab him just a little bit and watch his gill here. He's got a razor blade on that gill. Quick, quick, quick, quick! You got it. All right, rod up, rod up. Here, take the rod, hold it right there. Rod up, rod up, rod up, rod up. All right, stop reeling. He's making you work. Got him. Nice, good job. What you guys are going to do is you're going to open the bale. And you're gonna let that jig head just drop straight down. You see how that line's moving? Like, what you could do is you can kind of ball it up a little bit like that. You see how it's still moving down? It means it's still going down. Now it got to the bottom, it stopped moving. So you're going to reel just tight enough to where you can feel nibbles. It'll go tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick. Don't set the hook until you feel consistent pressure on your rod. Come on, pull it! You gotta get him up, get him up, get him up, get him up! Lost him. What are they fishing for right here, Captain Josh? Uh, we got cobia, snapper, grouper, snook, redfish, and sheephead. You can see these are all— oh yeah, these are all fish up in here. All these little darker dots. All right, pull them up. Get him out, get him out, get him out, get him out. Keep him out. There you go. Oh, nice gag! Nice! Oh wow! Oh boys, got some competition. These are a week out of season. Oh, they would have been a keeper too. Dang. Wow, they good tasting. Oh, they're delicious. What's that called? Gag grouper. If you ever get a grouper sandwich at a restaurant, this is what you need. Lily, you're the only one left that got one. Jonah's got another one. What's this one? This is a sheephead. These are pretty cool. They have human teeth. Zebra head. Human teeth? Yeah. Yeah. Have you ever caught a fish? Yeah. Yeah. At home? Yeah. Okay, but not at sea? No. All right. Oh my God, nice one! That's a gag. Yep. That's a good, uh, eat. That's a good one. We caught our first fish and we're going to eat it. Is that our first keeper? No, these things closed up a week ago. This is the same one as that other one we caught. You could have kept that one though. I could have kept that one. This one isn't a keeper. That could have been better. Look at the pretty red gills in there. Oh, don't get off! Oh, we got us one right down to the last minute. There you go. Who cut that? I don't know. Dance for us. Oh, bingo! Head first. Didn't mean to do that, buddy. Now you got dinner. Let me— caught another one. It's a big one. Is the other one on it? That is gigantic. All right, Lily, can you give me one slow, strong pull up? Oh no, did it break off? Yep, too big of it. Lost it. That was a big one. Lily, you all right? Yeah, that was fun anyway, huh? What's the green? Poop. That is poop. That is Oh, somebody knows what's up. These birds are feisty and they know what's going on. Just careful, it's spiky. They all go for it. Did they get it? Yeah, I got it. Oh my goodness, who got it? That one right there. Wow, they're fast. Wow, look at all those other fish getting for it. You're a little late. If you, if you hold it, they'll actually eat it right out of your hand. Wow. Okay, and just let it— don't, don't get scared like that. Oh, they're fighting over it. The little one got it. Here's some scraps. Wow, this is bones. There you go. Don't bite me. You keep ticking it out. Here, it's not gonna— it might bite you, but it's not gonna hurt, I promise. It's not gonna hurt because they don't have teeth. They're all like easy, easy. That one did. Oh, and parasailing, second year in a row for the kids. We gotta wade out to the boat. You guys nervous yet? No, we already did this before. Go ahead and climb on up this ladder. So guys, when you're climbing up, just watch out for the middle of the ladder. We don't want to pinch fingers. This is your first time on a boat, I think. Is this his first time? First time on this boat? First time. I don't think he's ever been. He's doing just good. He's doing fine. Bailey, you've not done this. How was the first time parasailing? Good. Was it exciting as riding a horse? You guys see anything in the water? Did you see anything? See any whales? No. Sharks? Dolphins? Trash? Somewhere in there we went and played putt-putt. It's kind of— it's becoming our tradition. We are putt-putting. Justin's about to go, or maybe did go. 2 shots for me. Josiah got 2 shots. Justin's under pressure. Did you get it? He got in 2. He got it in 2. We're tied, Justin. I was hoping to smash him this time. Good job! Look, Justin, he's so cute. That's a ball. Par is what you should be able to get it in. Par on this hole is 2. He, uh, Got it a hole in, like, so he got a hole in one basically that went to here. And then, are you serious? I am trying to beat him and it's not working. Gideon has made great strides in the last year since we played. Most improved. Most improved. Henry, come over here. There's your ball. I cannot believe it. He is kicking everyone's butt. It goes to his head. It goes straight to his head. I got it in 2. Oh, 4. Now it's just gotten ugly. Heavy competition. Isaiah has me by 1 point, so I'm gonna have to tighten up my game. I'm interested to see where Justin falls in. Sophia and I are tied. You're one down from Josiah. How does that make you feel? Um, good. Can you, can you get back under control? Yeah. I made it in 2. Cool. Uh-oh, Mom. Uh-oh. Oh, tied him up and took the lead. Josiah, one behind Mom. Uh-oh. Laid up nice. You could be able to get this in 2. 2 for the win, 3 for the tie. Oh, tied up with Josiah. And lastly, definitely my favorite, Triumph with Darcy, Isabella, and family. So fun. Where are we at, Darcy, Joe? We are at— we're lost, we're lost. Getting ready to climb trees. This is your everyday Yeah, this is your exercise. This is your gym. Yes, this is our gym. So why are we doing this? It's fun, fun, healthy, and it gets you more muscles. It beats the sweaty gym. Yes, this is nice. Okay, what are we gonna get out of it? Okay, all right, full body workout. Full body workout is right. You nervous, my man? No. You sure you want to put the slowest climber first? Well, I was going to help her. You know what, let me help your mom and I'll stay in between. Oh gosh, what is this? Oh my God. So put your— you nervous, Francesca? You want to do a little bit? What about your hip? You think your hip would be all right? Yeah. Okay. Oh, is he? Wow. And Dominic does this blindfolded. Oh, I thought she was coming. I'm sorry, Stella. What's going on, Beck? I want to go home. You want to go back to North Carolina? She went to church. I want to go home. She's done. I want to go onto the ground. The ground looks really good. He's got to tell them that I'm a failure. No. Hey, the video said it's part of the fun. I just have to let them know that I'm doing something. So watch your legs for that cable. Okay. I'm going to try to keep you out of the way of all that stuff. Good job, good job, Beck. Awesome. One down, four to go. Yes. You think we'll make it to five? Absolutely. No way. Did it get harder as in scarier or more technical? Both. Higher, more technical, more physical. Okay. Yeah. Okay, we'll see what these farm boys got. Oh, she runs. Watch her on two, she runs. Oh, oh, let's go see you run it like Francisco. There we go, she's already going to lap you. I'm going to run, keep up with Francisco. Woo, tricky one! Here we go. There you go. This is so hard. Good job. Didn't I tell you? How'd that feel? From 4 it goes to 5. It doesn't make any sense. There needs to be something in the middle, like 4 and a half. Yeah, you can go left or right, doesn't matter, whatever you want to do. Okay, I can barely hold this GoPro up. My arms are so, so tired. Shouldn't have trained this morning. Yeah, he can barely do it. Great job. All right, Justin, are you feeling okay? Yeah, he's a little lightheaded. I am a little lightheaded, a little dehydrated. Okay, I've never been so happy to ring a bell.
