My Assistant Angler & Puffy

Went down last weekend to SAF Yacht Club for the usual fishing game.

After a couple of cast and waiting, I went to one side to chat with some fellow anglers, while at the same time eyeing my rod and hopefully see it bend of the reel going zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.....

After a while, actually caught a shot of my daughter manning my fishing rod, while reading her story book...So Sweet of her!

Then, she shouted out to me... Papa, I think there is a fish. The fishing rod moved. Can I reel in the line, she asked.

Ya right. Perhaps it was the wind blowing pretty strongly or my wife actually pushed on the railing while trying to get some small fishes on the tampan jig.

Well, the little devil so excited, so I told to go ahead.... She started signing her songs and slowly wind the reel.

After a while, she called out to me again... Pa, heavy leh.. Please come and help.

OK, Pa coming... So I took over the rod and tried to bring in the bait....

Wait a minute... it does feel heavy... Wah say, my daughter so lucky ah... Like that also can. Continued to reel in and finally, saw the fella.... Puffy!!!!! (Puffer Fish).


She was so damn excited. So reeled in that fella, then removed the hook and let it go, but not before I explained to her what a puffer fish was, and how its cheeks would swell up when provoked or in danger, just like her when she is throwing her tanrunms.

Then, before she released my grip on the pincers to let Puffy go, she also learned about the fact behind CNR... Catch and Release... Made my day again....
