So today was the day for attempt #1.
The four brave souls set out on a mission, to snag a wild Oscar. Now, you have to understand Oscars, in the wild, don't mess around. If one spots a fishing line or the taste of blood lingering in the water and cut night crawlers, they don't even bother with that petty, weak excuse of a fisherman trying to be a hero.
Mr. Wil, Mr. DQ, Mr. Mike and Mr. Phil had no idea what they were in for.
At the arrival of the pond, which was in a nice little community, we were greeted by the Crofton Navy. The Navy looked in awe when they saw fishing rods, tackle boxes, nets and a cooler. The brave men were saluted by a the quacking of geese and ducks. In this pond, they were the Navy flying and swimming in V formation.
At first, the men looked for anything large and orange moving in the calm waters and saw nothing. As they headed for the shore to setup, schools of bluegill, perch and sunfish surfaced quietly as they waited for food, but little did they know, a monster was lurking in the water. As the men baited up and casted their lines, something else was waiting for them at the other end.
The head of this monster surfaced and Mr. DQ quickly opted for the net as something mysterious hooked his line.
As this beast got closer, Mr. DQ knew exactly what is was and wanted to catch it, perhaps make a soup as well. Soon the men realized what exactly lurks in these waters. This mission quickly turned around as we were focused against the Oscar.
After letting the beast go, fish quickly returned to the shore line, ready to be caught. But no sign of the Oscar and the greedy turtle was lurking around for more food. As the day progressed, the men were catching Bluegill, Perch, Sunfish and Catfish left and right. The sign of catching all these fish and no monsters was getting a little boring. Luckily, I, Mr. Phil brought some cichlid gold pellets from home to perhaps lure him in. Fish were attacking the pellets violently and even brought out somesort of bass in the group. I quickly casted in hopes of catching him, but no luck as he was just too smart. Before we set off for food, we had about 5-7 mix fish of perch, bluegill and sunfish, 2 catfish, and a bunch of minnows.
Then hunger and thirst hit us all. We quickly made a run to the local Five Guys and got some grub. Then we spotted a "shout-out" wall inside the facility. Mr. DQ grab a card and gave a shout out to MFK, and I wrote down something for CCA.
We returned to the pond with our stomachs full in hopes of at least spotting this monster. But today he was relaxing and decided not to be seen, now he's a celebrity in this pond.
We all hope to venture back out and attempting to spot and catch him. It was a good time trying to catch him and put him in a good home. We encourage anyone else to try and find him and at least catch him and either keep or donate to a LFS.
Soon Mr. Oscar, the men will be back and we will catch you, we will.
