Surprise, surprise!

My Fishing Buddies

Catch of the Day!

This time, we brought earthworms for bait. The fish didn't quite seem to fancy the worms we brought, so I tried luring them in with some meal. Next thing I know, something's gently pulling my line taut. Seeing the slow movement of the line, I didn't think much of it, and reeled in anyway. Several tugs on the line, and I didn't seem to feel like anything was on the hook. Strangely enough, as the bait end came in closer, I could see the silhouette of a fish breaking the surface, and this fella popped out!

However, with closer inspection, I noticed that the line looked a little funny - it was all rusty brown. Then I realised it wasn't my line at all! Turns out somebody had hooked this fish, and thinking the line got stuck, cut the line. That or the fish broke the line. Either ways, the line trailing from that fish's mouth had got ensnared in my hook, allowing me to reel in the biggest fish I've ever caught.

After reeling in my catch, I was quite satisfied, so I didn't really try for any more. Instead, I took a stroll to the opposite side of the pond where we had seen plenty of piscine activity. Standing on the edge of the stone bridge, I could see plenty of fish, and proof that my fish wasn't the biggest in the pond! I'm definitely marking this spot down as potential fishing area. The only problem is the security guards... may have to pay them off. haha.
