Did I tell you about the time I went fishing. No well let me give you all the details. I go fishing a lot. And I always go with my dad and brother. I have gone over two hundred fishing trips and caught fish. Some of these fish have even won awards and gone to the state record log. Like the time my Brother caught a 28in and 12 lbs bass and my dad caught a 18in trout. But I HAD to have patience to catch the biggest fish of 2016.
It was a hot summer day in our secret fishing spot (I’m not going to tell you where it is because it's a secret fishing spot). The heat was terrible and there were bugs everywhere. Now you must know this was like the 5th day on this Fish so we were going for a long time. “Awwwww come on’ I said just bite. “Luke you need to have patience” “the Fish won’t bite if you don’t have patience” said my dad. Now by that time I was done I was hot, tired, and bored. “BITE THE LINE IT’S NOT THAT HARD”!. I was mad, sad, and angry all at the same time. The emotion was so strong it made me forget patience. BITE THE STUPID LINE”! I yelled strait at the fish. Well the fish must have heard because she took off.
“Okay i’ll try again”. I recast my line and tried again. This time the fish came back and almost bit my line but didn’t. We were there for hours. FINALLY! The fish bit but let go. Then I found out a new trick. If I put the super secret bait on the other side of the fish then pulled I might just be able to snag the fish with the hook. This was not really fishing but at least I would have a shot at catching it.
I lined up the bait on the other side of the fish and pulled. When I pulled the fish came to. “YES!” I yelled into nothing particular I got it. It was one of the biggest bass I had ever seen.
The gills were white and it’s belly was bulging. My dad went down the steep and plant embedded bank to retrieve the fish. I took a picture and I was happy my hands smelled like fish and I had a big grin on my face. But then I noticed something the fishes belly was so big because she was pregnant. I slowly put her back and watched her swim back to her nest. What a happy day. That is how you have patience in hard times even when you are fishing.
