Hiwi the kiwi

"Come on son, we're off!" I said to my little boy.

We hopped in the yacht. It was a beautiful day, the sun shimmering, ocean nice and calm. The perfect day to go fishing. I gave my son a life jacket and put on my own. I started up the boat and off we went. After about half an hour of sailing we anchored and casted our lines. Me and my son slapped on a bit of sunblock and lay back, waiting for a bite.

"Dad look, there's a fish on the line!" James exclaimed.

I jumped up straight away and excitedly ran to the rod. I took the fishing rod into my hands and started to reel. It was a big fish, I could tell by how long it took me to land. It took a good hour or so to get the beast on board. I looked at it, lying on the yacht's floor, and I said to James,"that's the biggest fish I've ever caught!"

"Dad, put it back!" James commanded.

"Why would I do that, this is a huuggee fish and we're gonna take it home for dinner!" I replied.

The fish was a golden red snapper. It's eyes were as black as the night sky with little shimmering stars. The fish weighed about 300 pounds and was hard to lift..

"It could be pregnant so you have to put it back. You can always come back and catch it or its children again." James argued.

"Ok, I'll put it back." I moaned

I picked the fish up with a wet towel and carefully released her back into the ocean. I watched the snapper swim away slowly and then disappear into the abyss. "I think it's time To go home now son. That's enough fishing for today."

We sailed back to shaw, hooked up the boat and away we went.
