He knew all the places to go to catch fish, he claimed, I wasn't so confident but him constantly saying I would catch something guaranteed sort of turned me around eventually. About half an hour of throwing out the line, the line is just a thickish fishing line with a hook and a brightly coloured squid lure on one and and attached to a big loop, we got a bit, I got a bite and pulled it in. I was really excited now, I actually had a fish on the end of my line and I was pulling it in, I had just caught us dinner. As the line got shorted, the fish got closer and closer, I could see that it was a tuna, a small tuna of around six inches or just under. I didn't know what to think when I pulled it in, part of me was disappointed but most of me was quite hopeful that I wouldn't have to pay for this fishing experience. I had two lines out and straight after I got one bite, I had another, it was another tuna roughly the same size so I wasn't exactly going to jump up and down with glee. When they were both on the boat and in a bucket I said quite cockily that I wouldn't have to pay as the fish were too small. To judge this Brandon had broken me off a twig about six inches long to use as a measuring stick. I was dumbfounded when he said that we were only catching bait, small fry compared to what we were going after. We attached the tuna to a double hooked line and threw that out and went around with that dangling off the back of the boat.
