My Great Fishing Adventure
By: Brandon |
||||||||
I woke up at exactly 6:00 am. I got my clothes on and we gathered our fishing poles, tackle box, bait, and some snacks. Before I knew it we had arrived at Mr. Tony’s Ranch. We stopped at the gate and my dad punched in the code, it opened with a sudden jerk. Jonathan, Mr. Tony’s son, was outside roaming around on a golf cart. He went inside to get his dad and we all drove down together to the first lake.
At the lake, I put a big, juicy, night crawler on my line. I was determined to catch a big fish. As soon as I cast my line out, my bobber disappeared under the water. I jerked my pole up and started to reel in as fast as I could. During the tug-of-war with the fish, I nearly got yanked in the lake. I finally overpowered the fish and dragged him on land. My dad and Mr. Tony were stunned. He was as big as my arm. A 2.1-pound Large Mouth Bass. I fished for about 1-˝ hours, during that time; I caught a total of 35 Brim, 2 Sunfish, and 2 Large Mouth Bass. I kept 17 Brim as well as the Bass. I let the small ones grow up. We put them on ice and then started on our journey home. At home, we cleaned and put them in the freezer. The next day, my dad fried them and the family ate them. That was the greatest fishing adventure that I have experienced! I hope there are many more to come! Dad says we are going again Saturday. |
