So here's how it all started I was on a boat going to go hunt for game. Until the captain pointed out ship trap island in the distance. I heard 3 gun shots and ran to the rail to see what happened I dropped my pipe and tried to catch it but instead i plunged into the water. I swam with all my might to get to shore because the the water was freezing cold so i swam towards the shots because it meant shelter in my head then i fell asleep.I woke up and went to find some food I saw the remains of a dead animal and a rifle cartridge and some foot prints.

Have you ever had something so scary you just stayed there frozen, while this is the story of that happening to me. #Its starts with me being super happy about snorkeling in the line waiting with my family and other people at Disney World. The people in front of us were talking about stuff, but at first I wasn’t listening.

Lobstering is in my blood. It is what supports my family and most of my town. I have been doing it my whole life i’ve had a lobster license since i was 8 years old which is as young as you can get one. I love summer just for lobstering season plus I like the money outcome. I hate school starting the most because it tires me out because I play football everyday except sundays and some saturdays so i have to wake up early and haul on my days off from school.

While roaming around a corner store with my grandmother, I saw some old fishing rods in the back corner of the store. After looking at them for a few minutes, one rod seemed to stand out more than the others. The price tag on it, was a bit of deal breaker though. On a student budget, three hundred dollars seemed a bit out of my price range. The more I thought about it, the more it didn't seem like the smartest purchase to make.

That was the most interesting ride I’ve been on. She was whining so much and she was running around. Finally we got home and decided to name her. Everyone thought of names but no one agreed but then my dad said we should name her “Nugget because she was a golden retriever”. Everyone liked that name so that’s what we went with.

"eeeee!I can't wait to get my guinea pig!" July 6 2016, It was the day before my birthday and I really wanted a guinea pig. I knew so much about them and couldn't wait to get one for my birthday. On my birthday, I Revived 100 dollars in gift cards to Pet Co and Pet Smart. First I decided to go to Pet Smart I bought a cage for 49 dollars and food. They didn't have the guinea pig I wanted there so we went to Pet Co, when we got there I also bought bedding, hay and a pink igloo.

Getting ready for the big day, it was a cool summer morning, the water was like glass, mist on the water. My dad, me, and my friend launched the boat in the water ready for the state Bass Fishing Tournament, we had never been so pumped in our lives. Three!!! Yelled the director, we take off to our first spot of the morning, a spot we had done good in practice the day before. The first spot was a bust but we bounce back and get to our second spot. I throw my chartreuse spinnerbait next to some reeds in the water and next thing i know i'm hooked up!!! I yell “Matt get the net” He scoops the fish into the net and that's our first keeper of the day. Next cast I hook up with another Largemouth bass that weighed about 2lbs. I continue on the trolley

I have many whales, yet I struggle with one Moby Dick and that would happen to be holding on to the past. While I was watching Moby Dick I noticed a little of myself in Captain Ahab. While analyzing the passion he has to get his revenge on Moby Dick because of the past is somewhat of the way I am with the past situations in my life. For example, holding onto the past was something I found myself doing when a future situation would occur in addition to not being able to leave what has happened in the past to move forward in the future. Lately I’ve been consequently stuck in the past that I miss out on so many opportunities that could be beneficial to me. For instance Captain Ahab, he is was so focused on what happened to him in the past that he doesn’t realize that his future will be transient trying to get revenge on something that happened to him

I raced to the garage to get the boat ready for water. Today was going to be awesome! I usually have horrible luck fishing but I had a different feeling about today. My grandpa, dad and I were all heading out to Lake Winnebago to catch walleyes. I made sure the straps were off and the trailer was unhooked. We took a short little drive to our favorite spot. It is a reef and the water is about 20 feet deep. Perfect for walleyes. We use stuff like planer boards, salmos, flicker shads, rapalas. I will mainly use rapalas cause they are deep divers.

We went to my moms boyfriends house.They had about six pomeranian puppies and the parents were outside.We saw the puppies and my moms boyfriend said he was giving them away.So we asked my mom if we could get one but she said no.Right until we saw a little puppie with no name.He had gold fur with a black patch of fur on the top. My mom instantly changed her mind when we saw him.My mom’s boyfriend let us have him. on the way to my apartment we were giving him a name. We were thinking of so many names until my mom thought of Alvin and the chipmunks

We were all pumping our sweaty legs on this very hot day in Martha’s Vineyard. We were staying Massachusetts and went out to the island for the day. My family and I all rented bikes so we could ride around the island and enjoy the ocean view, and the pleasant breeze all over our bodies. Even though we had that breeze the temperature was still as hot as the blazes of hell.

I am a women who loves to spend time with her family and friends in the woods ,at the lake, and by a campfire. I have been around hunting ,fishing, and the great outdoors, since the day I met my husband over twenty-five years ago. I have enjoyed our priceless memories of hunting and fishing together ,but I decided to come out from behind the scenes and give the boys a run for their money. In 2016,I got my first buck. It was a life changing experience . I have so much respect for God's Country and all fellow hunters that I want to share my husband's little saying "Dirty Doe" with all my family , friends, and anyone who will listen. It is a phrase he says when he is out hunting and it has seemed to have caught on with all his hunting buddies.

Chance Jones-For the fishing opener my family is heading to the cabin. My cabin is located in elk lake When it's warm out my awesome family go out on the lake and fish. My grandparent will probably come with us too. My family goes on a fishing trip this year. My family goes up to the cabin every weekend over the summer or if it nice that weekend. Me and my dad every weekend we took the boat out and find a good fishing spot. Me and my brother when we go fishing we see who catch the biggest fish. But I win every time.we fished for bass, northern pike, crappies. If they are small we let them go back in the water. On a hot day we take the boat out and go tubing with my family. Or me and my brother go swimming in our lake.

Before elementary school and into preschool, I had two close friends named Reilly and Sidot that lived in the same apartment complex as me. I remember one time I made a sign for my door permitting only the two of them, and my cat, because I was mad at my mom for some reason or another. The three of us played together often, though I don’t remember exactly what we did. I remember a time when Reilly got sick and I made some excuse of returning a forgotten toy to go see her. She had a sore throat so I suggested to her parents that they give her popsicles because that’s what my mom gave me when I had a sore throat. My mom later found me at their house laughing and eating a snack when she went looking for me after realizing I had been gone way too long to just be returning a toy.
