Hooked
I walked out onto the pier
in one hand was a fishing rod
In the other hand, was the gear
Today was the day I was going to show
I'm coming back with a fish
I will not buy it from the store
They all laughed at me
They cannot believe it is true
I'll show them they'll see
I placed the gear down
I took the blood worm out
casting into the blue was easy I found
Two hours in
The line began to jiggle a bit
This is where the fight begins
I yanked the rod up in a start
I started to reel in something heavy
Could be a sea bass or sand shark
There was a fight and a struggle
I heard my rod do a little crack
You may think I was in trouble
There it was for all to see
a baby albacore
That’s tuna for you and me
I did what I had to do
gathered all my things and was on my way
told everyone in the house I came through
Do not ever doubt what can be done
Maybe it's your first time I don't know
You’ll never know, so let's have fun
