The Winning Porgy

    I pulled the knob to cast in.  “I got something!”  I yelled in a happy voice.  Everybody was  very happy when I told them that I had something “get the net!” I yelled the mates came running over with the net ready to catch the fish.  My pole was bending so much.  It jumped out of the water.  “It’s a gigantic porgy.” Its tail was as big as 1 of my fingers.  The body was almost too big to hold but the eyes were very small and slippery.    I tried to pull it up but it was just too heavy.  The mates came running over and helped me pull it with the net.  They must be having a hard time pulling it up I thought in my mind.  I thought that I would remember this fish for the rest of my life.  I still remember reeling it in and trying to pull it up onto the boat.
