"Taleing"
My dad and I went to our usual
fishing spot in Rockport, Texas, one day last December. It
sure was cold as we fished off the bank next to a row of
bait camps. We fish here because something is always biting.
Mostly it is just small fish, but it’s always fun fishing
with my dad.
We had been fishing for a while
when I missed a really good bite. My dad re-baited the hook
and I dropped it straight back down into the water. My rod
suddenly bent in half and I thought I was going to fall in
the water! We had to chase the fish up and down the bank for
20 minutes until my dad got the fish into the net. It was a
black drum and it weighed 40 pounds!
After we weighed the fish we put
it back in the water and it swam away. I always want to go
back to that spot because I think the drum will be there and
I want to see how big he has gotten since the last time I
caught him.
