Default Seasick??

Went out on a trwler today, buddy has a commercial boat he bought for pleasure so we took it out sea-duck hunting and fishing. Caught a bunch of shark, a couple of cod and I hooked into something massive that was pulling line off of my 6'00-wide like a champ, but whatever it was it straightened out a 10'00 hook after 10 minutes. Who knows, coulda been a huge skate or maybe a nice tuna, ahhh the one that got away..... Anyhow, noon rolled around and we hit seas getting into the 6-8 ft swells, boat was listing I swear 45 to port and starbord, now that I'm home, I feel like I'm still on the damn thing, I feel drunk, I'm swaying back and forth as I sit. I've never been sea-sick before but I feel awfull!

I never had the after effect like your having. I would just chum the fish after the first half hour and be fine. It took me about 6 trips before I stopped hurling.

Whenever I was on float, as long as I had a point of reference like the horrizon, or a swinging pitcture from the galley, I was fine, today was like a roller coaster though, more of a hold on type thing, and nothing until I get home. Gotta go to bed soon, maybe I can rock myself to sleep..
