Sunfish: Personal Narrative

After I had released the fish, I put away the net, holder and scale back into the dock shed. Then, I got the fishing pole, and re-baited it with another bluegill in hopes of catching another catfish. My Dad came up behind me and

One day, my family and I traveled to Minnesota. Once we got there, we rushed straight and we turned right to the amusement park called “University of Nickelodeon” and when I walked in, my stomach dropped. My brother, Jesus and I made a deal that for every ride that I got on, he will give me ten dollars. The deal was on. I had gone on a lot of rides, particularly roller coasters. But, the scariest one was a SpongeBob one.

I caught my first largemouth bass here when I was just a little guy. I also caught my first sunfish here when I was young. In the summertime when we go down, my brothers and I take my grandpa's boat out on Hungry Lake. My grandparents live only like four miles away from the lake. So I hook up the boat to the four wheeler and I drive the four wheeler while my brothers drive my grandpa’s pickup. When we get the boat in we start up the trolling motor and go around the lake with that. We catch big fish every summer like big bass and northern pike. The people that usually go along is just my brothers and I. My boy cousin comes along sometimes when there is no football, hockey, or basketball game on. My grandma and grandpa come along fishing every once in awhile too. But that is only when Grandma is not cooking or my grandpa is not building something. My grandma mostly comes along only when we take the boat out. That is because she likes boat fishing more than land fishing. When we do take the boat out though my grandpa does not like water that much so he throws on a life jacket. In the winter time we always go fishing to Cotton Lake. We stay the night out there on the lake in a big ice house, so we are fishing almost twenty-four seven. A couple years ago pretty much all we caught that winter was a lot of baby northern pike. One winter one of our ice fishing poles almost went

Your Inner Fish is a book that explains evolutionary concepts from multiple different scientific viewpoints. It explains how fossils help us to understand where we started from, and how we evolved. It also explains how DNA can help us track where we came from and trace our ancestry.

We over around the lake a lot because how we weren't really hardly getting any bites on our fishing pools. And I had only gotten one bite and when I pulled it in the fish was only a little bit bigger than an orange. But it was

I pulled in a twenty three inch walleye on a rattle reel with weak six pond test and a small flathead minnow. We took a lot of photos and we had to let it go because it was in the slot size. We looked at the camera to see if there were any more walleye but there wasn't any. All that was down there was the whole school of perch and a few small northern ranging from about fifteen to twenty inches long.

They chose the time period of 375 million year old rocks because they thought that it was an ideal age to check the transition. They were only able to find fish found in 380 million year old rock and the animals with limbs in 365 million year old rocks. Sedimentary rocks are ideal because they are made due to the turns of the river, ocean and lakes. This is the place where fishes and animals are ideal to live and survive upon. Also the environment, in which they are made, doesn’t destroy the fossils and they preserve them. In 2004, the fossils were found on Ellesmere Island in Northern Canada. This location was chosen because this is the place where there are no humans or roads or any disturbance that would forbid them to dig anywhere they want.

Once upon a time, in a town called Athens nestled in the northeastern section of the state of Georgia, there was a boy and a girl who, even though they thought they were the most unlikely of lovers, fell madly in love.

I also wrote about "Once More to the Lake", but I enjoy long descriptive sentences. When you read your chosen sentence, did it give you a feeling or, bring you back to a moment in your past? When I read that sentence, it brings me back to laying on the beach smelling the the salty air and listening to the

The time I got a 23 in 5 1/2 lb Largemouth Bass in Florida was awesome. When the Bass first struck my frog lure it jumped into the air and splashed down into the water. It fought very hard and tangled the line around the lily pad stems. All I could hear was my line being pulled out by the fish. I yelled at all my family to get outside. When they got out I was struggling to to get the fish out of the weeds. I eventually worked it out of the weeds and into clear water. My grandma was yelling because of how big it was. My dad got in the water and lifted it out. We filled a tote with water and put it in. It barely fit! I named it “Tank” because of how hard it hit my lure. We kept it in the tote until we found someone that could make a replica

In, Your Inner Fish: A Journey Into The 3.5-Billion-Year History Of The Human Body, Neil Shubin shares the story of evolution through his knowledge and personal experiences. Shubin is an American paleontologist and evolutionary biologist. On the first page of the first chapter, Neil wrote, “... I find ancient fish bones. That may not sound like buried treasure to most people, but to me it is more valuable than gold.” This sentence proving his dedication and clear love for what he does.

Neil Shubin is a professor at the University of Chicago and associate dean for academic strategy of the university's Biological Sciences Division. The focus of Shubin's research is the evolution of new organs, especially limbs. According to Shubin he wrote the book Your Inner Fish because “In 2004, when we discovered Tiktaalik, I realized it wasn't some esoteric fossil from an odd moment in time. It's part of our own history. Its story is linked to our own, and that story is profound.

When I came into the Corps I was and still am a scrawny kid; five feet seven and one hundred twenty pounds soaking wet. I came to the Corps to be challenged physically and mentally, however, I was not prepared for what I was getting myself into; I joined the Fighting Texas Aggie Fish Drill Team.

I attended the talk on Your Inner Fish by Dr. Neil Shubin on Thursday the 6th of April. The talk itself was based off the book Your Inner Fish, that Dr. Neil Shubin wrote in ______ year. In the beginning of the talk he stressed the idea that to understand the human species it very much helps to understand animals as well. The anatomy of our own bodies and the understanding of what everything does can also be seen in other animals like fish. He believes that we are the cumulation of millions of years of evolution and that we had to come from somewhere. Most of his talk addressed findings that support the idea that animals formed from fish to animals like tetrapod’s and then to something like us. He and other colleagues discovered the Tiktaalik, which was a creature who had both elements of fish and amphibians. This was amazing find for the world of paleontology and shows amazing evidence for the world of animal behavior

I sure enjoyed the boat ride out to the spectacular fishing hole. Knowing that there are so many huge fish out in the water and hoping it is like all the stories I have heard. The ice cold water splashing against the hull of the boat, sending a shiver through my entire body. The fishing poles ready for action sitting in the rod lockers bouncing with anticipation much like I was. The boat is a brand new Lund with a 115 horse motor busting through the white caps. Cutting through the
