    There many things in this world that I like and dislike. Out of these I want to write about fishing. Fishing is one of my hobbies that I just cherish. I usually go to Enoshima with my friends or family and enjoy fishing there. Today I want to talk about why I love to go fishing and other facts about fishing.

    First of all, fishing can be divided in three different types. They are sea fishing, river fishing, and manmade pond fishing. Sea fishing is a great hobby because I can enjoy the tug of fish and can eat the fish if I can catch it. I feel the adrenaline in my body when the edge of fishing rod starts to shake little by little and my mother usually makes tempura with the fish I catch. I also love fishing at manmade ponds because there are a lot of fish living in a small space so first of all it is easy to catch fish, and you can get points for how many fish you catch and the size of the fish. If you collect a certain amount of points, then you are able to fish there for 4 hours free! There are also fish that are bigger than 50 cm so you can enjoy the tugging of fish. The manmade ponds near my house keep carps, which are known to be great tugging fish. I can enjoy the tugging of carps even if they are only 20 cm big. We give back the fish we catch to the manmade pond at the end of our time limit, but if the fish is bigger than 80 cm we got to take a picture with it. My family actually caught this fish, so we have a picture on the "Wall of Fame" at my nearby manmade pond. I still don't have a chance to go river fishing, and my father says I shouldn't go because we can't eat the fish because it might have parasites living in it since it lives in dirty river water. My family also doesn't own a fishing rod for river fishing so I think I won't experience river fishing, at least while I'm a teenager.

    In conclusion, I cherish fishing because there are three options to choose from. I also like the idea that if you try and catch a lot of fish, prizes are waiting for you during dinnertime. Next time I go sea fishing I hope that I will have a rich haul of various fish.
