Sunrise |
I was actually quite excited because I'm not sure what I will catch.
Step 1: Take a WEFIE |
The last thing you want is to see someone tipping over the boat, falling into the water while fishing because he/she is still having a hangover.
Oh wait, that would be the first thing I'd wanna see >:)
The Boss |
Gears ready |
My bait! |
The fisher chooses its bait by the kind of fish he wants to catch, according to its habitat.
For us, there was this whole box of artificial colorful baits, with different kinds of fish-like/frog-like faces. I got green froggie.
"Watch your hook, please"
This was probably said to me many times as the minute I got my hands on the rod, hooks were seen flying in every direction. Suddenly, from a fishing game, it became DODGING game!
At one point, my girlfriend felt something tugging her top while I was facing the opposite direction, looking out in the vast open waters, asking
"hey, where is my bait? It's stuck somewhere but I can't see it"
Literally. |
Each time I swung my bait into the water, the whole sampan rocked dangerously and everyone would scramble to find their footing.
And they'd scream.
After an hour out in the still waters, I was reeling in for the hundredth time until somehow, my whole reel detatched itself and flew into the water. I have no idea how it happened. Thankfully for our boatman, he saved it with his net and scooped it back up.
And the boss screamed.
My very own first catch - A Hampala Barb |
"Something is pulling! GOT FISH GOT FISH!!"
Yay! My very first catch :D
It's not huge, definitely not what I had imagined it to be, but decent for it's breed (Hampala Barb/Sebarau).
Ingrid's. |
Ok, I'm going to crawl into some hole and hide myself.....
Definitely looking forward to my next fishing trip with great company ;)
