Kelong

Kelong a beautiful place to fish in the middle of the deep blue ocean. It is located near Pulau Sibu in Johor, Malaysia. It is the best place to fish in my opinion. It is big and it is made out of wood. It may be a little dangerous but the food and the service are great. There are comfortable beds to sleep on and you can sleep or fish anytime you want to unless there is an activity planned for us.

The best thing that happened there was when I caught an alligator gar. It was the smallest but at least I caught one. It was about 75 cm long and it was the color silver and blue. It had sharp teeth with big fins. It was one of my proudest days of my life.I was really excited to take a picture of it and show it to my parents.

There was a really sick experience when we dissected a fish. There was this one fish called a "Bata fish". It's forehead looks like the bottom of a shoe. We dissect it and asked if we could eat. Mr Peavy said that we wouldn't want to eat it. When we finished dissecting it we saw all this poo coming out of the fish. I think that's why we wouldn't want to eat it.

It was an experience I could remember. We dissected fish, we fished, we went to the beach and we fished on a boat. Sure there are a few ups and downs but it still was a fun experience for me and many others.
