My fishing story.

"Today we are going to go fishing at the lake!" Dad exclaimed excitedly.
 I was sitting on the couch with the rest of my family watching Tv.
"I hired some fishing rods and a fishing boat," he carried on saying " we are going to go pick it up in a hour."

So we packed a chilly bin, bait and food for us in case we got hungry. "Don't we need a ruler to measure the fish with and some life jackets?" I asked as we were going out the door.

"I don't think we are going to need life jackets but I guess I should pack some and a ruler," he sighed.

So we put the gear in the car, attached the trailer for the fishing boat and drove to pick up the fishing rods and fishing boat. It was a long drive but when we got to the lake we jumped straight away on to the fishing boat, put on our life jackets and started fishing."I've got a bite, help me to reel it in dad!" I shouted after awhile. As we pulled the fish out of the water dad carefully wrapped it in a wet towel and placed it in a chilly bin.

"We should probably measure it now," I said looking at the big fish I had caught.

"No we don't because it's way bigger than the smallest size fish you're allowed to catch" replied dad.

"But we need to put the big fish back just in case it has babies," I disagreed.

Just as dad was putting back a smaller fish along came a Coast Guard. "You need to put the big fish back or I will have to take away your fishing boat" explained the Coast Guard, "Well done with catching it though."

So dad carefully placed the oversized fish back into the water with a wet towel being careful not to rub off any of its scales. Once the Coast Guard had finished checking our fishing boat and made sure we had no other over or undersized fish we continued fishing. After a few more hours we stopped to get some Fish & Chips for tea. After tea my mum took my little sister to find a play ground while my dad, big sister, little brother and I kept fishing.

After a couple more hours we returned the fishing boat and fishing rods to the shop and headed home. At home we cleaned the fish and put it in the freezer so it would be ready to eat when we wanted homemade Fish & Chips for tea.

The Crash.

The damage caused by the crash was one of the police forces least worries because none of the victims of the crash were responding or moving. Rescue helicopters circled over head and sirens whirred as the ambulance came to take the injured victims to the hospital. The hospital quickly became full. Parents quickly covered their children's eyes to protect them from the frightening scene before them. Just as the last victim was being helped onto a stretcher the cars suddenly caught on fire. Fire fighters rushed to the scene with hoses and buckets to try and stop the quickly spreading fire. Brave witness' helped pour water too. The flames quickly grew out of control, the police blocked off the road and evacuated all the people. After what seemed like hours the flames died down and everyone was allowed back in the area if they were brave enough. Reporters soon came flooding to the site of the crash to try get the best story.

For the following days the crash was the headline on the news. The clean up took days because the police had to first find the cause of the crash. When the police had finally found who caused the crash they were taken to court and sentenced to 45 years in jail.
