Jones, who is an avid fisherman, usually goes freshwater fishing on his family farm. This past week he spent a day deep sea fishing on the Gulf of Mexico. - "I always enjoy spending my free time outdoors, so when I was asked to do this fishing trip I jumped at the chance," commented Jones. "I was hoping to catch something I had never caught before and I did that and more. I had two hooks on the line at once and I caught three Trigger fish all at the same time. It was a fun day."
