Personal Narrative: My Last Drag

Decent Essays
In the boat watching things float.
I casted and fastened the drag.
I sat and watched the mat.
A bass exploded and the frog was imploded.
I felt the bass pull drag as the rod tip started to wag.
My emotions went crazy and I felt hazy.
The beast soon tired as it had came down to the wire.
I sweated as the monster was netted.
I pulled out the scale as I started to wale.
It was a new personal best and I was impressed.

Day one back at practice was pretty rough, hitting balls endlessly at the range brought upon old bad habits.

    My heart is pumping a hundred miles per minute; I jump up like a frog to get some blood flowing to my legs, then it’s time to begin. “On your mark,” I prepare my mind for the pressure I'm about to endure; “set,” the signal to move one leg in front of the other; “Go!” My legs are going faster than I can even think to tell them to go.
