Cody and Jaeda met working offshore in the Gulf of Mexico. At the time, the rig was in deep water (about 10,000 ft) and allowed people to fish off the back in their down-time. Since Jaeda didn't have any fishing equipment, she went around asking everyone she knew if they were planning on fishing in the near future and kept getting told 'no, its too hot'. Cody noticed Jaeda asking around and offered to meet her on the fishing deck at midnight (that is when his shift ended). A few months later Jaeda went back out to Cody's rig. She reached out to him over Facebook and asked if he was still there and if he would take her fishing again. After that Jaeda went to Houston (where Cody was living) with a friend of hers and invited Cody to join them for Trivia that night.
