I still remember the day as if it were yesterday, the day I reeled in my first yellowfin tuna. The morning started off as any other morning, wake up, shower, and dress but this day I ended up on a boat destined to head for the oil rigs off the coast of Louisiana. It was a long and cold ride out to the rigs, about one and a half hours of hitting waves as we all cuddled up at the stern. As the sun was rising from the horizon it started to warm us up, by the time we got to the oil rigs the sun way a pretty good distance into the sky. The clouds only lettings small slights of the sunshine through. Once we got to the rigs we began fishing for bait, using a steel leader with 10 small hooks and a lead weight at the end. We would be right next to the oil rigs casting the line next to the giant steel pillars that supported the rig. And with one reel in there would be approximately 6 mackerel stuck on the small hooks. I wouldn’t be lying if I told you catching the bait fish was more fun than the actual tuna. …show more content…
Once we gathered the bait fish we took off from the oil rigs and began setting the lines out for the tuna.
Once the lines were set we started trolling the waters about half a mile away from the rigs, it wasn’t even 10 minutes later we had a tuna on and the reel in the process began. I know this probably seems like the best part of the story but I’ll tell you that reeling in 300-pound fish that constantly swims in circles isn’t an easy job. It took approximately 20 minutes to get the tuna into the boat having each family member take turns reeling in. It was a tough job getting those fish into the boat but it was worth every second of
it.
The paper will focus on the story that was later adapted into the film Antwone Fisher. Finding Fish depicts the life story of Antwone Fisher, a man who rose above his painful past to beat the odds. The purpose of this paper is to apply the strengths perspective and systems perspective to Finding Fish. Another outcome will be to identify and apply biopsychosocial, sociocultural, and social change theories to the situations in the book Finding Fish.
Diving into the book I found that Paul Greenberg takes his readers on a journey starting from when he was just a boy and enjoyed the simple act of casting a baited-line into the water and waiting for a fish to latch onto the hook. “By the summer of 1981, I had a boat...and several thousand square miles of sea for my own use.” (3) After being hooked by Greenberg’s opening story, I learned that the four fish from the title of the book are salmon, sea bass, cod, and tuna. These four fish are on almost every seafood restaurant's menu. The book only has about six traditional chapters but four of them are dedicated to a single fish from the list mentioned before. Regardless, the book is still over two hundred pages long because Greenberg goes so in-depth with the story of each fish.
My friend had invited me along with him and his family to the ocean. It was vacation for the family, but for him and me it was the beginning of a week of serious business. We had an obsessive hobby to pursue. As avid and long-term freshwater fisherman, we were thrilled by the thought of catching those large and exotic saltwater fish we had seen on television a billion times before. Yet little did we expect there to be such vast differences between our freshwater fishing and the saltwater fishing, which we were about to pursue. We learned through trial and much error that in order to have a successful saltwater fishing experience we had to make adjustments to all the freshwater tackle, tactics, and gear we knew.
Since the early 1800's, Native Americans fished the spring and fall salmon runs, the water's edge, and the shore of the Columbia River. Later, small cable cars built by fish buyers linked the shore to the islands. They used two types of dip nets: one was stationary, the other movable through the water. The dip nets attached to poles ranged from 15 to 25 feet in length. There were about 480 fishing stations around Celilo Falls. Fishers built wooden platforms out over the water catching salmon that weighed up to sixty pounds. The wood platforms were very wet and slippery so the men had to be really strong. The men tied themselves with ropes that they tied around their waists in the event that they fell in the river.
“Just show me the tackle and give me some bait. Then watch me go fishing, the rest can wait.” Fishing is one of my favorite things to do. It is catching a fish for either food or simply for fun. You can do it by yourself to enjoy the peace and quiet or fish with others to pass the time. Many people think fishing is an old man's sport but I think of it differently. It has helped to form my values, most importantly patience.
This is the best way to get rainbow trout facts that are going to help you out in your future fishing adventures is by actually doing and experimenting in the field itself. Play around with different types of live baits as well. Use the night crawler as well as the trout worms to test and gain experience with. Live minnows work well with trout fishing as well. Salted minnow work well after a heavy rain and the streams are muddy and not very clear. These are good fishing tips that can really help increase your chances of landing the big one. Like I said though if all else fails or this is y0ur fist time then I suggest using the basic night crawler as the best bait to use. Again this is from my personal experience. What I do is I use a gold color hook and I push the worm up the hook covering just about the whole thing just leaving the head or eye of the hook visible. Finding good rainbow trout bait is easy. If find this gold color gives a reflection in the water that the trout can not resist. You need to be careful though and make sure to cover the entire lower portion of the hook and you do not want any part of the lower hook being visible. I said they can’t refuse the gold but trout are not stupid. They are very smart and once they know you might as well move on to another fishing location.Trout
Once you get on the boat you will have to help the fisher catch at least 4 fish. There are about 30,000 estimated to be in the harbor they are at.

We never thought we could reel in a tarpon. We resided in a pop-up camper during our three-month stay, so there was no air conditioning and almost no entertainment on our campsite. I remember a particular
I would have all my bases covered for deep feeding bass and the op feeders as well. Within in an hour I would have persuaded a few fish to violently attack the bait and run with it. If the fishing gods were with me I might boat a good size bass around 4-5 pounds and a couple of undersized ones. If fresh fish was not on my weekly dinner menu I would release the captives back into the cool waters of the lake.
Imagine one of those stories that we hear as a child before bed. Delicate and admirable, as in a children's book counted for adults or children. A film that touches by the beauty of its messages and that deeply reflects the good things in life and how to take advantage of them. With captivating characters, ranging from a gentle giant to an unconventional werewolf, "Big Fish" is a story of love for life and for all that is about, shown in a fairy tale for grown-ups, through a troubled relationship between father and son. The movie mixes poetry, enchantment, and fantasy in a fun and exciting drama, told through the amazing and dubious stories of Edward Bloom.

The sun is shining, and the sky is crystal clear. The air around me is crisp and cool, reminding me that autumn is just around the corner. Trout season at the Chattahoochee River is coming to a close. I know that today is the day that I will catch my first fish ever.
A Fishing Ritual I lay on the hard wooden floor on the small strong boat; the sunrays were scorching my sixty pound body as were steered deep in to the waters. I looked in the sky and prepared mentally for the demanding task that waited in few minutes. I had gone fishing before, but this was the D-day, I was here before several in several occasions. I remember the stinking smell of the intestines the bloody water and the sharp daggers my father and uncle used to cut deep wounds into the fresh fish. I remember seating on the edge of the boat watching their hooks catch the biggest, the ugliest and sometimes the smallest.
