Lucas - The "Big Game" Angler
Was looking at some of my old pictures and chanced upon one brought back fanstatic memories. It was in 2008 where I decided to spend some alone time with Lucas going off to Malacca and Kuala Lumpur. Evan was with Dorcas in Myanmar so I decided to take this opportunity to be with Lucas.
We started off to Malacca staying (where else) at the Equatorial Hotel. We ate, walked around, toured, went swimming and it was such a fun time for both of us.
We went off the next day to KL staying at the Time Square Berjaya Hotel. Unfortunately, there was such a long jam that we only got to the hotel at almost 5 pm! A 5 hour jouney which was suppose to be only 2 hours. We checked into our room, a junior suite, and Lucas was one happy camper.
We decided to visit the arcade and we saw this interesting video fishing game. There was actually a rod and multiplier reel attached to the game and what it did was to catch different huge fishes from Dorados, snappers and even the king of pelagics, the Blue Marlin!
I saw my son trying to bringing in fishes and it was exciting. I was imagining that one day, he would be trolling for the largest fishes round the world. He would make his dad proud.
I guess that there are different sorts of fishing - reel and rod or video game in this case. Either way, it was fantastic, just looking him struggle against the "huge" fishes on the screen and seeing the rod bend and the reel drag screaming away. Set my adrenaline pumping. I realy hope that Lucas will take up fishing seriously one day and my dream is to take both Evan and Lucas fishing for the Pacific King salmon off Puget Sound with Uncle Kenny. Now that would be something!!
