The Camera

             Last week, we went fishing at at local pond. We knew there was fish in this pond because last year we caught 4 rainbow trout out of it, all 12 inches. It was a lot of fun. This year we decided to go again. When we got there, it didn't look too hopeful. There were makeshift rod holders, footprints, and lure cases everywhere. We fished in the pond for a little bit, but Michael caught only one Largemouth Bass, a little under 12". not bad, but we didn't have the camera.
              So we started to leave when Michael noticed a pond in the woods. We decided to go fishing there for only a few minutes because it was getting late. We went down there, and started fishing. all of a sudden Michael yells "I got one". Another Largemouth, 14".  Dad then catches a 9" Chain Pickerel. Now I'm Starting to wish I had the camera. Anther 5 minutes pass and He catches a 18" Largemouth. That' s huge! At the same time, I catch a 10" Pickerel. Now I'm getting frustrated because I don't have the camera. Dad then catches a 16" Largemouth, The final Bass of the day. I then catch the last 3 fish, all Pickerels. The first 2 were about 10-11". The last one was about 17". That trip was by far the most successful Bass and Pickerel fishing trip I've ever been on. Too bad I didn't have the camera.
