Well done. Clearly organized and explained in detail. I felt the lobster bite. I can't imagine using a live fly for bait, so I guess this is terminology for a plastic thing that looks like a fly. So funny that you caught an enormous boot. Shows you what debis humans throw in the water/

    Thank you so much for your kind review. You are right people don't respect the water bodies, they treat them like trash can and complain when they get sick.

I guess that everyone can't catch the big one all of the time. Sometimes as you've so eloquently stated, you just get the boot. Fishing is only for the enthusiasts and the patient. Thanks for sharing this humorous and well written work. Well done!

The minute the reader reads that there was a trick to the adventure, you had the reader eating out of your hand, maybe not fish but nevertheless they were with you. In Vermont there is an archaic law about not riding a bicycle underwater. They might frown on screaming underwater. This is hilarious. What a game. I bet you clearly wanted to give the whole day the boot. This was fun.

Lol! Now that is a funny fishing story! I have never been fishing and now I probably never will. Best wishes in the contest!
Suggestion:
" I love swimming and I thought is going to be fun."
I love swimming and I thought this was going to be fun.

You have written a very interesting story I much enjoyed reading it. So much so, in fact, that I did not even notice most of the grammatical errors until my second reading.

I shall list them for you below along with my suggested correction:
"I love swimming and I thought is going to be fun." -- I love swimming and I thought this is going to be fun.

"Our task was to dive in the river and take out the lobsters from their hiding holes from the riverbank."
-- Our task was to dive in the river and take the lobsters from their hiding holes in the riverbank.

"My sister without telling me took a picture of my catch and posted on the Facebook mocking me with the title Catch of the Day. Her comment was, the Biggest Boot from the Danube River that demonstrates that Yeti was here."
-- Without telling me, my sister took a picture of my catch and posted it on Facebook, mocking me with the title "Catch of the Day." Her comment was, "The biggest boot from the Danube River that demonstrates that Yeti was here."

Your story is interesting and enjoyable......though i have never been fishing it really must have been difficult to fish with bare hands......n especially diving and catching lobsters.....but might be memorable too! Good luck for the contest

I think it's a great piece told in that trademark dry humor of yours, of anticipation and disappointment. You look forward to this fishing outing with your family, but then you get bit by the lobster and end up catching only a big boot. But at least we can always laugh at ourselves, and in that is the ray of sunshine. estory
