Last week, l went to the lake for fishing. It was the suitable time for fishing because I had nothing to do. I went there with my friends.

Arriving at the lake, I directly went to the best spot to get a giant fish. It was under the big tree at the bank of the lake. I threw my hook as far as I could then I waited for the fish eating my bait. It had been 15 minutes and I finally saw the sign that there was a fish eating my bait. I tried to pull it up and I succeeded. I got a three kilogram fish.

I got so many fish that day even though I was so tired. I was so excited. I think I will visit the spot again in the next holiday.
