prawn fishing

I went prawn fishing with fred last night. Prawn fishing is super fun! You guys should go try it someday. Think i'll be going again next weekend. Enjoy the novelty while it lasts?

Fred and I rented a rod for an hour and guess how many prawns we caught? Two. Haha. Well, at least we caught something! Not bad for beginners already, right? :)

I let 3 prawns get away with my bait. Boohoo. And fred let 2 get away. So, by right, if we had gotten them all, we would have caught 7!

Fred caught the first prawn. It was quite big and had a pincer! A long, blue pincer. Eeks. It tried to get at fred while he was struggling to unhook the prawn from the fishing line. Fred den stepped on its pincer so it couldn't wave it about anymore. Haha. We should have just yanked the pincer off. Then the prawn would be pincer-less!

My prawn was smaller than the prawn that fred caught, but still bigger than the usual prawn that you get in hokkien mee. My prawn was less menacing looking, at least it didn't have any long, blue pincers. I caught my prawn during the last 5 min of our rental hour and I was thrilled beyond words! How lucky!

In the words of the mastercard advert:
Dinner: $2.50
Rental of fishing rod for an hour: $14.50
Thrill of catching a prawn: Priceless

For everything else, there's mastercard.
