My Near Death Experience

Every once in a while my friends and I like to go tubing behind my small boat with a very big engine. Where I live there is a ocean like pond called Duck Pond which is right at the top of my canal. M

y dads friend that live in Texas leaves his boat at my dock and he has a tube that can hold 3 people and fly out of the water. My boat is kinda small but it has a big engine on the back so it goes pretty fast it has a total speed of 70 mph. We got the boat ready and two of my friends jumped on the tube and we headed out, we got to the top of the canal and it was kinda windy so we all knew that the tube would probably fly out the water. Later on that day we all found out that we were right about the tube flying, just my friend was on the tube and he wanted to go through snake trail which was a small cut between two big Mangrove bushes. We took the first turn and everything went fine but when we took the next turn the tube took flight and went upside down and my friend was still holding on, and a couple seconds later my friend was about ten feet in the bush and had suck about three in the depths of the Mangrove. It took us about ten minutes just to find him and about twenty to get him out. We got him out eventually and his back was covered in blood and deep scrapes.We knew what was going to happen but like always we don't care until it happens.      

my weekend on the water

My weekend on the water 

Last week Friday school was out so a couple of my friends and I went fishing. I woke up at 3:00am and got the boat ready then we headed out, we wanted to get to 12 mile bank before the sun came up but we didn't make it. We got to the bank at 7:30am we already had are lines out and we where trolling along the edge of the bank trying to catch a Wahoo but we didn't catch anything. After a while of trolling around we finally found some birds and they were diving so we headed straight for them, there was flying fish flying and Mahi Mahi jumping. All of a sudden two rods went off and we where hooked up on two nice size Mahi Mahi. After about ten minutes we finally got the fish in the boat. We got tired of trolling so we stop the boat and made some deep drops, I was jigging for bottom fish and my rod went off and it was something big. I was fighting this fish for a pretty long time and I was starting to get kinda tired but I new I couldn't stop so I kept reeling. Finally i got the fish to the boat and it was a twenty pound grouper and it was worth the fight. Everyone on the boat was happy so put out the big lures and headed home.
