5th Trip - Happy Birthday Michelle!!!

Happy Birthday Michelle! Is there a better way to spend your birthday than to be on the water soaking in the beautiful weather and catching lots of fish as well? Lol - Plus the RON guarantee was in full effect and both Garry and Michelle caught lots. Props to them for picking up fresh Vietnamese sandwiches and snacks. It was also Michelle's first ever time fishing - and the first ever girl to become a member of the Asian Christian Fishing Club! Furthermore, Garry is becoming a much better fisherman as he was fully involved with hooking worms and taking off fish. Congrats Garry - no longer can you be called a fishing noob.

Conservation is very important and we let go a number of GIANT rock bass go. I've always been taught by my dad to only keep a few fish for a fresh dinner - the rest are released to catch another day! Even though it may be legal, there's no need to fill your fridges and freezers with fish. We all have a part to play in conserving this great resource and we can educate others by setting a good example through our own actions.

Oh, and for the record, I had another GIANT Bass on which we should of landed, but Garry said "the net was stuck", so then the fish took a massive leap out of the water and shook the hook free. =)

Michelle's first ever fish caught - BIG SMILE!
