   One of my favorite activities is one i have begun to do quite frequently,fishing. I fished very little growing to where i have grown now. I used to take weekend trips to Catalonia on occasion and fish with my father out there. But that was the only time I would really ever fish, when I would travel with my dad and not only to Catalonia but pretty much where ever we went that wasn't local. There was one time when my grandpa, uncle and I went fishing in Chicago but that was very long ago and a one time thing.

   This year I began fishing on my own and with some of my friends. I started not really knowing where to go or what even to really use for bait for the few spots I know of. The first about five or six times I went I was salty, did not catch anything didn't even get a bite. But i have been willing and trying different things out and they have been working. I am very happy with my result. This past Monday, memorial day I went to one of my favorite spots. I'd say it was a good day i caught about 8 blue gill and 2 large mouth bass one being the largest bass I've caught in my life.

      When I fish the time goes by  at an alarming rate before you know it all the bugs are out trying to feast and that is one of the last things anyone wants is to be pestered by a bunch of mosquitoes and any other insect that decides to fly along with it. My desire has grown for larger and different fish I am currently trying to figure out how to wrangle in a catfish and a carp. Both animals can get to massive sizes but usually live in kind of swampy  murky ponds/ lakes. I mean catch the catfish with a rod not noodle them.
