Prawn fishing

Bought my kids for prawn fishing on Saturday. We had great fun and everyone managed to fish a prawn or two. We spent about 2 hours and got 33 prawns. Well.... actually we only caught 7 prawns. This was what happend... after 2 hours, we retured our rods to the counter and pack the prawns into a plastic bag. Then a man came over to see our 'catch of the day' and asked how much time we have spent to catch the prawns. My hubby told him 2 hours. He replied saying, "2 hours and so little prawns, come let me get you some more". He just took our bag of prawns and walk all the way to the back of the ponds. At first we thought he was probably another customer, who has caught tons of prawns and was kind to give us some. Turned out he is the boss. He went to his storage area (where he kept all his supplies of prawns), took a net and scope a big bunch of prawns into our bag. We were lost for words with his generousity. Plus the 15 prawns that my hubby caught the day before, in total we had 48. The next day, we invited some friends over for steamboat. Yummy!
