My wife and I visited a Polynesian Cultural Center in Hawaii while on our honeymoon. It was a pretty cool place and it was great learning some history and experiencing some of their cultures and customs. We enjoyed their luau as well!
When we were walking around the grounds, we found out that one of the things their guests can do is try to catch a fish with a stick, string and paper clip in one of their ponds… challenge accepted!
I procured the necessary tools from one of the workers, and quickly got to it. I used a little bread ball as bait and bent the paper clip into the shape of a hook. Within a minute, I was hooked up with this “monster”:
I conquered the challenge, and the worker was surprised as I guess there are not too many people who are actually able to do it. There was some other people trying, but they did not have any luck so I guess that makes sense!
This was a fun experience, and got me thinking that it would be enjoyable to do more “alternative” styles of fishing from time to time in order to make things more challenging or keep them interesting… then again, I am not fishing enough as it is, so why make it harder on myself!
Have you ever been fishing “alternative” style, such as with a paper clip?
Take care,
Brian
