               It was the biggest fish ever! Well, only in my life that is. I can remember it as if it were yesterday. It was another blazing hot day in Sedona, Arizona. As we were being baked alive in the car I noticed a sign that said “Rainbow Trout Farm”, I was overjoyed. I love fishing. I love the nibbling of the fish and the jerk of the rod as you set the hook in its mouth. However the best part is the battle between you and the fish. Although I love that feeling I wasn’t feeling it. The fish just weren’t biting.

             My brother caught the first fish and I was jealous. So now I was determined to fish a bigger fish than his. I put my bait in front of a good sized fish( around one pound). After waiting a couple seconds it took my bait. I jerked the rod back as hard as I could and there it was flying out of the water, a beautiful rainbow trout. I proudly looked a the amazing colors on my rainbow trout glistening in the sun. That sadly lasted a very short time because while I was dehooking it it fell into the dirt and so it changed from beautiful to dirty and sandy.

         Even though it fell on the nasty ground it still tasted wonderful ( don’t worry we washed it before we ate it). I think this turned out to be one of the best fishing experiences I have ever had. After all, where else can you find a place that guarantees you that you can get a fish, paid to have it gutted, and eat it? Just because this is one of my best fishing experiences I’m sure it won’t be the best experience I’ll have in my entire life.
