a moment spent alone doing something i enjoyed

on the 12 of december, 2010, my family and i had decided that we would go to the serangoon jetty to go fishing but my sister suddenly told us a day before the intended trip that she had a course on that day and that one of my parents had to go with her.well, surely you could tell that i was at first dismayed at that piece of news. but luckily, my father knew how much i enjoyed fishing at the serangoon jetty because i could catch crabs as welll as fish there as well, so he agreed that i could go with him and my second elder sister.the next day, me and my father, along with y second eldest sister went to serangoon jetty. my sister and father set up the tent while i started preparing the baits , fishing rods and other things necessary for fishing.it was about 2 in the afternoon and the sun was blazing like fire over our heads. my father and sister both rented a bike each and cycled around, leaving me all alone on the jetty, there were some pretty weird things going on like that. i mean how does someone fish while lying down on his back? but suddenly there was something biting on the rod of the guy next to me and the whole rod bend until it touched the railing and the guy holding it looked like he was having trouble reeling it in, so i went to help him.OMG!!!it was the biggest fish i had caught!(or helped to catch)it was a stingray and it was bigger thatn my head. thankfully the guy allowed me to take a picture of it and here, i'll show it to you. see? it's big right? i thought it was cruel to hold the fish by the gills but hey it is his fish. i went back to my own fishing and i was determined to catch a fish to show my sister( she taunted me that i would not be able to catch a fish). suddenly out of nowhere, both rods i was looking after suddenly bend like at a 30 degree angle(estimating only) and i wasn't sure of what to do. i was like so panicked, but eventually i decided to go with the second rod first because it looked like it was about to break. unfortunately as i was about to pull it up, the line broke and it escaped.i was determined to catch the second fish and so began to carefully reel him in, the line was so taut that i was sure that the line would break.but lad luck was on my side, i managed to reel him in and here he is yes i know my rod is small but at least i caught a fish right? my sister ad father soon returned and i showed them the fish with pride. for the rest f the day we caught 6 more fishes but we released them all because we did not want to kill them(i am not a murderer). but i would always remember the first fish i ever caught. and to this day i still remember the moment spent alone doing something i enjoyed because of that little fish.
