Fisherman Henry History

A great fisherman named Harry Middleton once said a very popular quote, “Fishing is not an escape from life, but often a deeper immersion into it.” This quote is true to many fisherman out there, because every fisherman goes fishing to find themselves and get lost in their own thoughts. Being a perfect fisherman is a very complicated thing to do, a perfect fisherman has to be strong, passionate, brave, smart and have a lot of life experience. The book The Perfect Storm by Sebastian Junger, a true story about fishermen, has many perfect fishermen with all of those characteristics. Just three of the perfect fishermen in The Perfect Storm are Bobby Shatford, Billy Tyne and Dale Murphy, otherwise known as Murph. The reasons behind of why Shatford, Tyne and Murphy are perfect fishermen are; they are dauntless,

My dad examines the pole and realizes that the pole has snapped about 8 inches above the reel. I think to myself that the trip must be over now.

The short story “The Boat” by Alistair MacLeod is narrated by a man who comes from a fishing family. His mother’s side of the family has forever lived and worked by the sea and continues this tradition. The narrator’s father always wanted to be an academic, but worked on the boat to support his family. Through this passage it is evident that the parents’ characters clash in many aspects of their lives and are in constant conflict. MacLeod demonstrates this through the use of repetition, the contrast in other unrelated ideas, and through information that is withheld.

* Leopold outwits the great trout at the Alder Fork by walking upstream, dropping his dry fly into the stream at his feet and pay out line to let it drift towards the trout who is waiting around the bend in a hole under the Alder canopy. What was big about the trout caught that day was the chance. (June, pgs. 42-43)

It was almost time for the tournament to end so John decided to only make a couple more cast. On his last cast of the day he was just about to reel his lure out of the water then all of a sudden a huge thirteen pound bass grabbed onto his lure. He wasn't expecting it so he almost dropped his pole. He barely hooked it in the lip and he almost didn't get it in. John already knew that he was going to win the tournament so he headed back in. Sure enough John went home with a gold trophy and 500 dollars in cash as the grand

Once upon a time there was a man named Willie. Willie lived alongside the Waspi River. One day Willie went for a boat ride on his big steamboat with a big paddle wheel. Willie was on the Waspi River on his steamboat. Willie had a big problem after he was 2 miles down the South channel from his house that was on the North Channel on the Waspi. Willie’s big problem was that he couldn’t get his steamboat to start. Willie was looking for some food, because he was very hungry.

The fish was bending the rod so it must be big and fat. It is also probably the biggest fish he ever caught. The story states the fish is the biggest he had ever seen. The fish is probably hooked well and won’t come off. He dragged it through a bunch of rocks and weeds so it would probably be easy to catch. The fish fights hard so it would be fun to catch. The fish is putting up a good fight with the pole and it would be fun for the narrator to catch. Another reason he might choose the fish is there are other girls. A few girls live around him other that Sheila. There are other girls around him that he could go out with other than Sheila. Sheila doesn’t like one of his biggest passions. Sheila doesn’t like fishing and he loves fishing so there might be another incident like this. There will be more available girls in the future. In the future there might be more girls that for sure like him back. In summary, the narrator can choose either the fish or Sheila

Paul and Norman grew up in the same household, with the same rules and values but when it came to their fishing styles and their social lives, they were totally different. Norman admires Paul’s expertise in fly-fishing and wishes to have the same ability as Paul, but he feels overshadowed by his brother’s skills. Norman had always looked up to his father, unlike his brother who would rebel their father’s ideals. Norman accepts the values and principles that his father tried to teach him. Unlike Paul, Norman found fly-fishing important only because he wanted to grow closer to his brother and father. “In our family there was no clear line between religion and fly fishing.” (p.

This fish was different from all the other colored fish in the lake, it was so clear, that you could see through it. When the fisherman looked around the lake, he saw no other colored fish swimming around like he saw earlier that day. “This must be a bad sign for the King,” said the fisherman to himself. The fisherman walked to and arrived at the throne of the King. There sat the King in a gleaming golden robe, he was surrounded with massive piles of golden coins and laughing with his viziers. “Oh fisherman, you’re back, where is my new gifts of fish?” happily said the King. “Here O King, I have brought you a fish, different from what you have seen before, but I must warn you, it may be more of a curse instead of a blessing to you.”, replied the fisherman. “Nonsense fisherman, give this fish to me,”, replied the King. “Yes King, but heed this warning first, it is said that troubles don’t come as expected but rather comes when one is relaxed and is at peace.” The fisherman reluctantly gives the King the clear fish and then the King suddenly begins to shrink. “No, what is happening to me?!”, shrieked the King. The King shrunk to the size of a small stone, the clear fish opened its mouth and a jar and cap came forth from it. The King was sucked in a whirlwind into the jar and the cap was sealed onto the jar, then the jar slowly rolled out of the palace, until it rested at the bottom of the

The excitement begins to rise as the first cast draws nearer. The motor is prepared for take-off and the key is placed in the ignition. The engine turns over and the huge motor roars. The sleek boat accelerates rapidly and speeds toward the first fishing spot of the day. In a matter of minutes, the powerful boat glides into the fishing spot. The anticipation of catching a fish becomes almost unbearable. The fishing poles are grabbed quickly out of the rod lockers, and lures are tied onto the end of the fishing line. Moments later, the sound of a lure splashing into the water can be heard from the boat. The real adventure has just begun.

The author’s diction is easy to understand, not complicated fisherman dialect. In lines 8 and 9, she uses words that offer a precise description of the fish, "battered and venerable and homely". But she also employs words that show that she has knowledge of fishing, such as, shiny entrails (line 31), and isinglass (line 41).
