Fishing Fun

Climbing Perch

Bored during holidays, so plan to stay at home when my friend, Ryian called me to say that he is free and he can go fishing. I say okay and since my another friend, Garner wanted to come my house to do homework. After my friend have finish his homework at my house, we went down to a canal. I cast my bait in and wait...... After 10 mins, no sign of any bitting on the bait. My friend bait also have no bitting on their bait. So we proceed to the park next to the canal, which is also known as Punggol Park. Garner and I went to catch some shrimps to use as bait to fish. All the shrimps were quite big, about 2-5mm. Then when we fish at the grass patch beside the water, no sign of movement on the float, so we decided to move towards the next spot which is the restaurant( how ever u spell?) When i cast into the water, just some small fish began to pull. Then a small fish pull my line straight. I thought it was some other meddling fish like tilapia etc. But when it came on land, it is a climbing perch. I was astonished. This is my first time seeing a climbing perch in a pond. A perch should be in some lakes or river. So i think the perch is probably let off by other people. After taking out the hook from its mouth, we continue fishing, soon, Garner caught a tilapia, the size of the fish was the size of our palm. Garner wanted that fish so i go get water with a plastic bag. The fish was jumping and jumping. When i get the plastic bag with water, the plastic got hole.... so plan to put in the pail. But sadly, the fish jump and drop into the water and swam away. Such a pity that Garner cannot take the fish back home with him. But lucky the perch was still in my pail, so Garner bring that fish back home.
What a nice day...
