In the Canoe

The rebel tribe’s second expedition to Florida was warm and fun- filled. On our second to last day in the Everglades we stayed at Picnic Key for a chill day. The paddle day before, we didn’t get to fish so we did school and then had about three to four hours of fishing. Aaron had caught three Sail cat (Catfish) already. I caught one Catfish too. Jon was fishing when we heard him say “I got a big one”. We all rushed over to him and once he reeled it in, we grabbed it and put on the stringer. It was three times the size of the other Catfish. We identified it and it was another Sail Cat. Jon casted the line back out and in about two minutes he had something big on the line. Aaron reeled it, and it was a Blacktip Shark. We cheered and then we realized that we had lost the fillet knife at the last campsite. What would we cut the fish and shark with? Then Doug came out with the knife and said to earn it back we would have to do a song and dance (involving fishing, canoeing, “pumping”, bronzing, and the fillet knife). The name of the title hints our song. It will be very funny if you look very well, you might even see a penguin attached to a fishing line!  This is our video of the performance, so enjoy!
