Friendly Competition
August 11, 2009
Fishing décor is a great token of the friendly competition that is the sport of fishing. In my family, fishing, even though it is just for leisure, gets very competitive. Each summer that we are all up at my grandparent’s house, one of the first things my cousin wants to do is fish. And to keep him company, I fish with him. Here though begins days of friendly fishing competition.
He and I head down to the dock, poles in hand, ready to catch a mess of catfish and bluegills with my grandfather’s homemade bait. Our competition is to see who can catch a fish first, and then to see who catches the most. He always wins. But nonetheless, its always fun. Fishing is a great way to harbor friendly competition and promote family time.
