Splashing and Swooshing, jumping and catching. Fishing is a great sport. Every year I and my dad go on a fishing trip together, with a church group at Trivoli, Il. This is the best place I’ve ever fished at, and believe me, I’ve have fished at many cities and towns and there is no other place like there. The guy that owns it, his name is brett and he has a lot of lands. 620 acres! And this land has 8 lakes, and all eight have huge fish, like big 8-pound bass, 48-inch muskie, 20lb channel, and albino…

It was filled with gorgeous shades of pink, yellow, and orange. We stopped at the Marina to unload our boat and get some bait before we left out for the…

We had traps out on the ice in about an hour. I’ve always thought that ice traps were like barriers on the ice. They stand up off the ice and snow to break up the mix like…

Fishing is one of my biggest weaknesses. It all started when I was younger and my dad bought his first boat since his dad always had one. He started taking me out, and I was hooked buzzing around the lake in the sun. I just loved everything about fishing from catching a big one to a small on and just being in the sun. Then there's no better feeling than when someone asked where did you catch that at, and you tell them the secret spot. I can sit outside all day out there and try out all the new tackle…

It’s a calm summer afternoon. Me and my best friend Christian are patrolling the banks of a pond in a paddle boat in search of a nice bass. It's humid, hot, and muggy but perfect.

I'm relaxed and enjoying the atmosphere when I throw my frog on to the bank then hop it off just like a bullfrog…

“Arm Wrestling with My Father,” believes about his dad. Manning clearly show in his essay, using a motif, an anecdote, and a non-visual imagery, that fathers don’t have to be emotional and weepy to display love and affection. The use of physicality as a motif is very poignant in this regard- most clearly exemplified through the arm wrestling, but in other places as well. It is carried consistently throughout the essay as a representation of their non-emotional yet still powerful relationship and how…
