"My Fishing Adventure" was created especially for Adam David Smith. Love Always, Grandma and Grandpa
July 30, 2010
Adam David Smith was peacefully reclining in his bed, browsing through his newest fishing catalog and thinking about the annual fishing contest in Austin, Texas. "I sure wish I could enter," Adam said to himself as he flipped through the pages.
Adam turned the page and saw Bobber Bear in the catalog. "Boy, I wish I could be a fishing bear like Bobber Bear. I would be able to fish anytime I wanted," thought Adam as he gently nodded off to sleep.
Adam began to dream. In his dream, he was magically transformed into Bobber Bear. What was even more amazing was the fact that Uncle Jason was also transformed into another fishing bear.
Uncle Jason told Adam to get his fishing rod because they were going to enter the fishing rodeo! Adam was very excited as they began packing for their fishing trip. Along with sandwiches and fruit, they packed plenty of water to drink. Uncle Jason brought a tent.
They decided to go to the Bass Pro Shop to get sinkers, flies, hooks, floats and anything else they might need for the fishing contest. Uncle Jason also looked at the new boats, outdoor gear and other fishing equipment.
Adam was fascinated by the colossal 30,000 gallon saltwater aquarium they found stocked full of trophy-size fish of many types. There was even a real person in the tank hand-feeding the fish!
At the fish camp, Adam and Uncle Jason set up the tent for the night. With the boat in the water, they took their places and Uncle Jason started the motor! "Look out fish, here we come!" yelled Adam and Uncle Jason at the same time.
First they cruised up the river so Uncle Jason could find just the right spot. Adam was starting to get impatient when Uncle Jason said, "This is the place!" Immediately, Adam began looking for fish. He wished Jackson, Becka and Aaron could be here with him.
Adam watched Uncle Jason get one fishing pole ready. Next Uncle Jason grabbed a spinner. Then Uncle Jason helped Adam get his very own fishing pole ready. Adam was going to try a plastic worm first.
Adam had trouble throwing out his fishing line. Several times it caught nothing other than branches of some nearby trees. Finally, he learned how to cast her artificial bait to the right spot.
The first time Adam reeled in his line slowly. He was very disappointed that the fish were not biting. After three more casts, Adam began to understand that you do not catch fish every single time you throw out your line. Soon Adam was catching quite a few fish, but none of them were big enough to win a trophy!
With the noon sun directly overhead, Uncle Jason reeled in the line, but Adam left his line out and set his rod by his seat.
While he was eating lunch, Adam heard a noise next to him. There was a quick jerk and his pole almost fell into the water. Adam quickly grabbed the pole, but the fish that Adam hooked was so-o-o big that it began pulling the boat!
The sandwiches flew overboard as Adam, Uncle Jason, the boat, and the fish headed down the river through the rapids. Uncle Jason looked so funny trying to keep one hand on the boat and the other on the hat. Adam would have chuckled, if he had not been afraid of losing his fish.
As the boat raced toward Austin, Texas, the other fishing contestants could not get out of the way fast enough. Fishing poles were snapping, lines were breaking and Jackson, Becka and Aaron and her other friends were cheering from the banks. Adam was ready to land the fish and try to win the trophy!
The fish was the biggest ever caught in Austin, Texas. The loudspeaker hailed, "The winner of this year's fishing contest is Adam David Smith!"
Adam, Adam! Wake up!" said Uncle Jason while shaking Adam out of his dream. "I just entered us in the big fishing contest. Let's go now or we will be late!" Adam grinned from ear to ear. Maybe his dream would come true after all!
