I was about to write either tea or anime reviews, but both would be longish. I am a bit tired
and sleepy, today we went out for a hike (plus kiddo and I did a hike yesterday with his scout
troop).
And also, as the title spoiled, we went out fishing after getting back, so we spent like 2
hours in the sun at Oradell.
Today, after like 9 months (or maybe more?) (I CHECKED: closer to a year, going by this post) of fishing, I caught not one, but three fish. And got a fourth one lined up for the kid.
They were small, like 10~12 centimeters long. But I don't care, it was exciting and fun. We
returned then all, except one of them was very tangled on the treble hook and I got super
nervous about killing the fish when pulling it out. After three or four a panicked attempts at
getting the hook off, I just cut it with the pliers. [1]
So the fish was alive, but with a hook hanging from its mouth. Did I condemn the little guy? I
would like to think it will live a happy, long life. And maybe someone more experienced
catches it again and manages to remove the extra hook.
It was really fun to catch something, and it felt like a reward for the perseverance.
Now I need to watch a few videos on how to remove hooks properly. 👀
I wrote everything above last night at about 11:30pm, and I was really
sleepy. Good thing I didn't publish until now, it had more mistakes than usual.
So until this section, everything referencing "today" and "yesterday" is off
by one day.
Another advantage, last night I was lazy about adding a "fishing" tag, but now I just did it. And added a few older posts that reference the topic.
