Strange encounter with fishermen

What's up guys...
It is finally finished, my torturing weeks have ended!
Thanks god T^T
I will write about that on next post I guess.
Now I have some awkward meeting to share as a remembrance.

Yesterday, I went to a man-made pond nearby my house for fishing with my bro.
This is the second time I went for fishing without Mr "Fish", my fishing class teacher.
I used to have fishing class on Saturday but my semester 2 is considered finish.
So I got no fishing class anymore.
I am slightly nervous because I still got a lot to learn...
When I arrived at the pond, there are some other guys.
I was like 'oh man, I don't want to have people looking at me fishing because I am a noob!'
But since we are already here and there is no point of turning back.
We set up our fishing rod and bait.
I threw it out like a "pro", haha trust me I threw it like a bitch...
I waited and suddenly I felt a pull from the pond.
So excitedly, I pulled like a madman, ops correction: I pulled like a madwoman.
But I can't pull it up, it felt so heavy then I was sure that this ain't fish.
Then I heard the guys beside me were telling me not to pull up the fishing rod, it is very dangerous.
Then I still dunno what to do with my fishing rod, both my bro and I were confused.
Luckily, they were kind enough to help us huhu...
Then in no time 'pop' and the fishing line loosen.
However, my hook, swivel and my sinker just gone like that, the string just snapped.


At that moment, I was like 'oh craps, I got only one set of all that, I can't fish without those thing @@'.
Those guys asked me if I have new one?
I guess my face at that moment has answered his question.
So they gave me a set of those, I explained to them that I was still new to this ><
I know very much that I need to prepare those before going for fishing.
It is just that I am slightly busy lol, I didn't expect to lose it so soon...
They told us that, we shouldn't use sinker at this pond because it will get stuck easily...
They were so kind and friendly, they even taught me how to tie it even though I have learned it during the fishing class.
But the method they taught me kinda different from Mr "Fish", it is way easier.
After everything is set, we continue to fish and thanks to them I got one small fish that I never catch before!


Argh, I actually looked it up for the fish name but I cannot find it huhu...
I got only this small picture, it is dark, small, flat, circle shape and with big black eyes fish.
It is funny that they called me a champion of the day because I am the only one that caught a fish at that pond for that day.
They didn't fish at all yesterday, so I asked what were they doing?
It seems that they were practicing how to bait casting fishing method.
It is very interesting to see them cast their fishing rod. 
We have chatted for awhile, they were all fishing-lover, they always come to the pond.
They live quite near our housing area, they also shared some picture of the fish they have caught last time at that pond.
Interesting because I never see those fishes before too, interesting pattern big fishes...
After awhile, one of the fishermen said my fishing rod string needed to change because it is not straight anymore, it seems old.
I was confused of course, because my sir said it is not straight because it is still new.
But apparently the guys was not convincing.
So they helped me to straighten it by putting a heavier sinker and throw it further away and pull it back.
While doing that, my bobber flew away in the middle of the pond.


I was like 'oh nooooo my favourite cute little bobber T^T...'
Then they were like 'oh...'
He clapped his hand and told me not to worry, he said he will go back home and got a new string for me to change.
At that moment, I was slightly shocked because I don't want them to trouble for me @@
But he insisted and drove off...
I was slightly feeling awkward and embarrassed because I don't really like troubling other people and worst we just met for like a few minutes!
The other guys then gave me a new and big bobber for me ><
Let's the fishing continue!
After that more funny stuff happened, right after he set everything for me.
I threw the fishing rod at the wrong direction, because the new bobber is heavier than my old one thus I cannot estimate the strength.
And it flew through a tree and got stuck.
That is the most embarrass moment, after everything they have troubled for me.
This silly thing happen T^T, where can I hide my face and my dignity lol...
'Did I go for the fish or go for the tree', is all they can say and laugh.
Once again, all those trouble, thanks guys >///< 
After awhile, the guy came back from his house and brought a lot of stuffs.
Hmm, like a whole big box of them to be precise...
Then he handed me a full set box of swivels and hooks to me.
He said that is for me, I was once again dumbfounded because that is a lot @@
The others also take this chance to put more other fishing stuff into that box.
I was speechless, because I dunno what to do about it. 
This is something new, I am not used to people giving stuffs away without returning their favour.
I don't like the feeling of owing people...
But then he said he no longer go fishing so I can have it.
I wanted to ask why?
But I guess maybe a bit too personal?
Anyways, yesterday was indeed weird and awkward because I did many silly things...
And they still helping me, even though all those troubles I have given to them.
What a strange encounter with a bunch of fishing-lover guys.
Thanks for teaching me and the stuffs too, hope to learn more from you guys :)
