Adrenaline

It was in the summer in mexico visiting my dad for the summer. We were out on his sailboat travelling and we had 6 huge fishing rods. About after 2 hours of towing the lines, one of them got a bite and the tip of the rod bent all the way down. I jumped up and ran to the fishing rod and I tried starting to reel it in. I could see it in the distance and it was a 5 foot barracuda! A jolt of excitement hit me and adrenaline kicked in. I sat on the chair we use to reel in the fish and have the rod a huge yank. The fish quickly responded and gave a huge yank right back. I pulled as hard as I could. My hands were shaking and I reeled it in some more. The fish was only 5 feet away and my dad grabbed the hook used to grab the fish. "One more big pull" yelled my dad and I jerked it aboard. I was shaking all over success overwhelming me. I set down the rod and got a closer look. I was right! A huge 5 foot barracuda around 50 pounds! My dad looked at me with a huge smile on his face. it looks like I caught dinner! It tasted all the much better just because I caught it!
