Walleyes-Personal Narrative

Decent Essays
My family and I started out the weekend by going fishing. We fished many hours and we hooked into some nice crappies. Our family’s seasonal camper on Lake Shamineau is where we spent most of our time fishing. Routinely spotted were large northern pike and muskies all while looking for schools of crappies and walleyes. Quietly trolling for walleyes, I happened to snag a small fishing rod. By the looks of it, that rod had been at the bottom of the lake for years. Our keep of walleyes was held to two. The crappies were not biting the best, but managed to keep enough for a family meal. They were harder to catch since they just didn’t want to bite. I noticed a monster 20 some inch walleye off the fishing dock, but just couldn’t get it to take

    As Jenny carried the last box of clothes from her dorm room to her car, a wave of excitement ran through her body. It was officially summer. There were no classes or tests and most importantly, no more Chartwells. After a two-hour drive filled with Mcdonald’s stops and obnoxiously loud singing, she finally saw the long driveway that she knew so well. Being too excited to bother with unpacking her car, she grabbed her fish, who somehow managed to survive for two years, and sprinted up to the front door.…

    Honestly, I’ll come right out and admit that I have never been the Detroit Lion’s number one fan, or any football fan for that matter. Sure, I had technically gone to each of the homecoming games both years in high school, but only for the sole excuse of being able to put some red war paint on my face and attempt to catch up with some friends. The only exposure I had to the sport was walking through the doors of Phase Three during cross country season. Day after day, I was forced to push through groups of teenage guys reeking with a putrid stench of dried sweat, rotting eggs, and grass stains; the smell in itself was enough to make my eyes water.…

    and I felt something hit the lure, I waited a couple minutes and something hit the lure again, I set the hook and the rod bent and the fish fought back. I was reeling and reeling and I finally saw it and grabbed it, it was a walleye, I had to watch out for the teeth because they are sharp and they hurt if they bite you. It kind of surprised me because people have told me that there is only flathead catfish back there. I think it was at least a 3 pound walleye, I caught a couple more walleye then put them on the stinger I had with me.…

    When looking at objects that tell the story of my life, there does not seem to be a lot to choose from. I was an only child of a single parent. That being said the most memorable part would have been moving to Colorado and seeing the mountains for the first time at a young age. I remember the first time I saw Pikes Peak, how I was in shock and awe over how spectacular a natural formation coming from the Earth could be, as I have never seen anything quite like it before. The mountains span as far as our eyes could see and could we could see them from a great distance away.…
