Fishing Adventure

This was our first fishing trip with our son Kevin. The previous night as my husband was keeping the rod, line, bait, etc. ready, Kevin was watching and helping him and had numerous questions (how, why, what, where, when).

The next morning Kevin came waking us, “Ma, get up. We’re going fishing right?” After a 20 min drive, we walked towards the river. “There’s the river” Kevin said excitedly. It was so beautiful and green around the place. The trees were swinging, soft breeze was blowing and the river water was clear. Seeing the small fishes in the water Kevin jumped in excitement.

My husband gave him the rod and told him how to cast it in the water. We then waited patiently but didn’t have to wait long as he soon felt a tug at his line. He pulled the rod towards him. My husband advised him to stay calm and roll in his line slowly. Kevin did that and the fish was finally out of the water. My husband took the hook out of the fish’s mouth. It was a medium-sized fish. Do I need to tell you how excited Kevin was? During the next hour he managed to catch two more fish.
All of us had an absolutely wonderful time fishing.
