unkle grumps.

just got back from fishing at pasir ris. man, it was fun. met soon, peter neo and jason at yishun interchange at 6.45am, then we took a bus to pasir ris. started fishing at around 7.30am. half the day, we were facing the sun, and yes, i got a singlet tan AGAIN!

well, for the first few hours, we did not catch anything other than jason fishing small fishes. then peter neo caught a red snapper. a decent size, around 1 kg. then peter neo caught a red snapper AGAIN, around the same size as the previous one. then peter neo caught ANOTHER red snapper, around the same size as the others. and so, peter neo caught 3 red snappers, the rest of us caught none. okay, the first red snapper, peter reeled it up himself. the second one, he was busy sleeping, so i reeled it up, first time. the third time, jason reeled it. fun.

a few hours passed, no fish. johnny came to visit us, bought lunch for us and brought hot coffee. man, he's a damn thoughtful guy. he actually came to see us catch some fishes, but none when he was around. when he left, a few hours later around 3.30pm - 4pm, i caught a fish, man was i overjoyed! i reeled it up and voila! caught a sand perch. a member of the sea bass family. actually i didn't know what fish it was until i came home and did a small research. and the fish i caught looked exactly like this. here are some random pictures i took, well, only 4 pictures.

my rod. heh heh

me, paying attention to my rod to see if i got a bite.

and finally i caught a fish!!!!! wooohoooo!! virgin no more!!

the fishes we caught. 3 red snappers and a sand perch.

i was so happy after i caught the fish. its an awesome feeling, really, seriously, awesome. will be fishing again soon!

P.S. if some of you dirty minded people are thinking that what i'm saying sounds obscene, e.g. paying attention to my rod to see if i got a bite, my rod is not a virgin anymore, blah blah, well, to tell you the truth, it IS meant to sound obscene but is not obscene. whatever.
