Aaron and Tracy are getting married in May. Since I'm the father of the groom, my responsibility is for the rehearsal dinner. We've got reservations in a restaurant with a fish on the wall! What more could you want?
Can you name the fish?
Job 12:7-10 - If you want to learn, then go and ask the wild animals and the birds, the flowers and the fish. Any of them can tell you what the Lord has done. Every living creature is in the hands of God.

Dorado - Dolphin - Mahi-mahi - April through November: Found worldwide in tropical and warm temperate seas, the dolphin is pelagic, schooling, and migratory. Though occasionally caught from an ocean pier, it is basically a deep-water species, inhibiting the surface of the open ocean. Large males have high, vertical forehead, while the female's forehead is rounded. Males grow larger than females. There are no spines in any of the fins. The dorsal fin has 55-66 soft rays. The anal fin has 25-31 soft rays. They are extremely fast swimmers and feed extensively on flying fish and squid as well as on other small fish. They have a particular affinity for swimming beneath buoys, seaweed, logs, and floating objects of almost any kind. One skipper reportedly made some very good catches while fishing around a ladder found drifting in the water. Hooked dolphin may leap or tail-walk, darting first in one direction, then another. It is believed that they can reach speed s up to 50 mph (80.5 kms.) in short bursts. In addition to being a highly rated game fish, the dolphin is a delicious food fish.

This fish, "Howard", is so lucky to be hanging out with Aaron and Tracy. They are awesome. And May is going to be filled with family fun, thanks to their great plan to marry and live happily ever after!

Mark, I caught one of these dolphins while on a trip to SC many, many years ago. When we phoned the kids and told them, they were concerned it was "Flipper". We grilled it; it was delicious! We didn't name it "Howard" however. Blessings, Joann

I could be mistaken, but I'm nearly positive that's Jason Powell!
