Personal Narrative Essay About Fishing

I have always feared getting a hook stuck in my finger, but I haven’t really worried about it too much. Now a days I always look back on this decision when I am watching fishing shows. I brought with me my pole holder so I don’t have to hold the pole while I am waiting for a bite. As I picked up the soon to be hated pole nothing really went through my mind (I was really tired). This pole was the worst pole for the occasion because there were 3 spines on one hook, which didn’t help me.

When we were trying to cross the river the current picked up and I fell a couple of times because it started raining, and I could feel the rocks when I hit the ground and I could taste the fishy water. But there was no lightening so we kept swimming in the river for a long time. While we swimming down stream Will saw a bridge and he wanted to go there. Right when we saw the bridge it thundered it was so loud that I could hear it like it was right in my ear. Then I yelled “Let’s just go up to where we started out at.” Will screamed “Let’s go up to the bridge and see what it’s like.” So I went back up to camp where we started out at and Will went to check out the bridge to see what it was like.

Taking the old fishing boat to the secret dropoff nearly nobody knows about. Letting your bait drop, then jerking it back and forth across the murky bottom. All this in hopes of catching one to fit your tale for the people who didn’t go. I’m from large meals, always good. Always waiting for the last person to be there.

He put ketchup on the dock and in the water and then put some of his clothes in the water. When his friends arrived he quickly hid in the reeds, then let out the loudest scream. His friends were now in shock and they were really worried than Chet jumped out of the reeds and said “I got you good”. Chet’s friends are furious for pulling such a terrifying prank on them and he regrets pulling a prank on them and Chet is upset and worried because his friends are the only friends he has had in a long time and he thinks he blew his

Near the end of Paul’s leave of absence, he felt isolated and full of regret, “I ought never to have come here. Out there I was indifferent and often hopeless-I will never be able to be so again. I was a soldier, and now I am nothing but an agony for myself, for my mother, for everything that is so comfortless and without end.”(Remarque 185) This quote accentuates the narrator’s separation from his family, when he cries out “I ought never to have come here.” Moreover, commonly, soldiers are exhilarated to finally go home after long periods of time at the front, and the men dread when they have to return to battle. However, in Paul’s case, he desires to return to the front, rather than staying in his home town and seeing his mother in pain, he yearns to feel numb again. Therefore, Paul is in “agony” because before going on leave, he was hopeless and had no will to live, thus making him a better soldier.

Perhaps things could have been different if Bowkers friends were in town, or not going to school somewhere else. O’Brien states, “Sally Kramer, who picture he had once carried in his wallet was one who married” (132). And his father whom was a baseball fanatic didn’t help him. Often he didn’t have anyone around; he continues his old habits that he recalled about the war. Humping around the lake alone with no one to vent about how the war.

“ Dad your phone is ringing.” He picks up his phone and walks outside and answers it. I didn’t know who it was but I was really hoping that it was his friend that we were supposed to meet here. He was finally finished talking “ Alright let's go get in the truck I know where we are supposed to go” “ Are you sure. Because if you get us lost I am going to kill you.” So we went on our way up to the lake where we were going to go fishing. I saw a bridge on the side of the road that went right over the lake and into a little camp ground.

Sergei’s said to the gold fish “ he wanted to take you from me.” (Keret 6). “ Nonsense” (keret 6) the fish says. Sergei’s choices that he made had a huge impact on his life he has no one to get close to now, since all the people in life leave at some point. A situation I can kind of relate to in this story is when Sergei uses his last wish to save the boy’s life. Sergei didn’t even know the young boy so he was thinking to himself why should he use his last wish on someone he barely knew.

Net On this day in history a monster was almost caught. The saying hard work pays off is not always true, but keep trying it is bound to happen. Sometimes in fishing things do not go your way, but that 's life and you need to recollect yourself and get over it because the world does not stop because you missed a fish of a lifetime. Many things happen for reason and you just have to except the fact that sometimes in fishing you just lose.

When morning arouse, the brilliant rays of light woke them up. And their food stricken stomachs immediately reminded them of hunger; their stomachs wrenched in pain. Their appetite kept them on the prowl for food, and soon they had caught a wondering crab. Around the same time they had found the crab, they had realized that the sandbar was gone, and they panicked at the thought that they all might be stuck on the island. Walking back to camp, the panic died down as they dug into the wild crab; enjoying it like it was their last dinner.
