Something Fishy ....

Fishing has never been soh much fun until today ...and ofcourse when ya doing it for the first time and at lesuire at ya own home pond.
As a child and even today when I would return home from hostel there would be a day a fisherman would come early in the morning with his huge blue net to catch fish in our Pond ... it was more like Welcome back Home thing for meh.. and it was/is always an event in my house where every one gathers to see the process..and certainly a sight worth to see... I have seen my Grand father ,Grand mother Angling (catching fishes with Bamboo rod)...My Grand father is no more but It still continues ...I still remember we had a small size fishing rod made for the kids in the house ,My elder brother had the knack of imitating our granddad...I never tried though when i was small but i enjoyed the process and i would only do the counting part"how many and what fishes have been caught.....Today I am 24... I am home again...I decided to Fish .
I was told by my Uncle a few techniques , how to hold the rod , how to put the bait to the hook,how to watch the dipper and how to pull above all PATIENCE!....I watched mah uncle carefully...
It was my first fish, baby Rohu, caught in the second attempt! holy F@#&!!! I screamed soh loud, i guess the fishes even got scared.....soon it got exciting... then challenging...my family members could feel the excitement of a "First Time" and they gathered by the pond side to give meh company... I caught 9 Fishes .... and this was my first time....

I chose to beleive it runs in my blood.....soon I was wondering if they have Angling /catching fishes with rod as a game in the Olympics , I am sure I would do proud my country!lol
