Assignment 20: How to Catch a Fish - James Apo

Fishing is a fun sport that I am sure many of us have done at least once in our life. Going to the lake with family and friends and fishing on the docks - or if you're lucky the family boat - can always be enjoyable, but it is definitely more enjoyable when you are catching fish instead of when you aren't catching fish. In order for you to be able to catch a fish, you will need a few tools. First off, you must get yourself a fishing pole, probably an inexpensive one since we are not going to catch any bigger salt water fish that require a larger tension pole. Now that you have your pole, you are going to need to get things like line, lead, some night crawlers, a hook, and maybe even a bobber. Now that you have gathered all your materials, you must tie your line, which you do by putting the line through the eyes of the pole and cutting off the excess line when you are done. Also,make sure to tie the lead to the end of the line so it will sink to the bottom of the pond, and do not forget to tie the hook. You're almost in the water! Now just bait your hook with the worm and make sure no part of the hook is visible, as that is not very appealing to a fish. Finally, cast your line, be patient, and when the fish bites your line, set the hook with a jab upward with your pole. Once you have the fish on, reel him/her in carefully, and WAH-LA, you have caught a fish.
