FISHING

I finally got the chance to grap my poles and fish. I was told that Northern Pike were down already, and a great spot to go to catch those is the 5-1 damns. So after a while I got my girlfriend to get down there after her CPR cirtification class for school. I wasn't catching much, just a few little ones here and there. For about 45 minutes I sat there waiting and hoping for a bite and yet nothing.

After sitting there in bordium for a while, I thought it would be funny to kinda get rocks, grabbed it out of the water only to see that the fish was a 12 lbs flathead catfish. It was not northern pike like what I was hopeing for, but still, it was a big fish.my brother Chris's heart going, so I slightly kicked his pull. And of course, he dove for it, only to find out that that was not bite but yet me kickin the pole. So to get me back, he kicked my pole over and he said "now if your pole stands up, you know you have a bite". And not even joking, just a few seconds after that was said. My pole stood up on the railing. So I grabbed my pole, gave it a jerk, and started realing in.

After about 45 minutes or so of fighting the fish in. I brought it up to the the rocks to see that it was not a northern pike like what I was hopeing for, but a 12 lb flathead catfish. I still got a good fish and had a hell of a time fighting it.
