Over the summer we did a lot of fishing. we have our own boat so we are able to go out further in the water and fish. Being on the boat is fun even if you don't catch a fish. It is fun on the boat because when your fishing you can see a lot of the bigger fish jumping. We once saw a huge bass jump out of the water. It was at least 10 inches long! Also when you have the rod in the water you have no idea when or if they are going to strike. So when you are fishing you are very cautious about watching the tip of the rod and not looking away. if you look away for even 5 seconds that's enough time for the fish to grab and go and your sitting there stuck without a fish and a worm. So you are better off just waiting and watching and not looking away because the fish always end up biting and taking off with your bait when you are not paying attention. Last week when my dad, grandpa and their friend jim bob were out on the boat, they were all fishing at once and my dad was using his rod spinning and my grandpa had two rods in the water bottom fishing and when they were all fishing my grandpa got a bite so he held it waiting for the fish to bite again. Then his other rod got a bite and it nearly got pulled off the boat. So my dad dropped his rod and helped my grandpa. Then my dads rod got a bite and he had two rods in his hands then his settled down. Then about a minute later there was another bite. well my dad pulled on both and he got both fish and my grandpa railed in his fish. So that is a story of when my dad and grandpa had a little too much luck.
