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
