It was a Whopper!

 

This last summer I went out rod and reeling a lot with Jackie and some other friends. When we went we wouldn't have enough rods for each one of us to use so the people without rods would just watch the others while they caught fish. Sometimes it would get very boring for me but I wouldn't show it to the others, or I would just go with them for the ride.

One time we went way inside Wilson Creek to check for some more fish and we saw lots of dead spawned-out salmon on the back side of the creek. We were grossed out by the smell because it was so strong. When we got further up the creek it was shallow enough to see the fish swimming by. I was thinking that we could just use a sharp pointed stick or something to stab them, and we would have fish to eat or give to the dogs if they looked too old. While we were there we saw a beaver. It was cool to watch him swimming under the water because you hardly ever see animals like that in a very shallow creek.

The very last time we went up there was when Jackie, Walter, Nus, and I went together. We all had rods this time. Before we started rodding, Jackie asked me if I wanted to fish with them. At first I didn't really want to, but when he told me that usually people who rod for the first time catch fish, I tried for the very first time in my life. I know it sounds pretty weird but it was actually my first time trying to catch a fish.

When we started Walter was the first one to catch a fish, then Jackie, then after a while I finally caught the first fish in my whole life which was a white fish. When I was reeling the fish in it started to struggle, and I got kind of excited and scared at the same time, and I asked Jackie to help me, which he did. I think when you go rodding in a narrow creek you don't catch very big fish, and that was the only time I caught one. And it was only about a foot long. If I had started fishing when I was younger, I would probably have a more exciting story than this one. But this is the only story I have about the biggest fish I ever caught.
