Hi friends! I hope your day's going well!

‎I want to share a story about my dad catching some fish from their own pond.

‎These days, financial struggles are worsening, and food prices are skyrocketing.

‎Because of that, I decided to take a practical and resourceful strategy to my family's food needs.

‎My dad has their own pond, so I asked him if he could catch some fish from it instead of buying from the market.

‎My dad, always diligent and willing to help, agreed wholeheartedly.

‎After grabbing the fishing net they kept nearby, he headed to the pond.

‎With patience and skill, he waded into the water, gently maneuvering the net beneath the surface.

‎After a few moments of focused effort, he caught a tilapia fish.

Thereafter, he set out again with a steady hand.

‎One by one, he carefully uses the net to scoop up the fish.

Some of the tilapia were small, wriggling energetically in the net, while others were larger.

‎My sister and cousin eagerly helped, offering support as my dad worked.

‎They took turns watching the pond, excited to see each catch.

‎Slowly but surely, by the time my dad was done, there were seven fish in the basin — a mix of small and big tilapia, lively and healthy.

After the catching was complete, my sister and cousin cleaned the fish.

They took turns helping to remove the scales and guts.

It was a team effort, full of cooperation and a sense of accomplishment.

‎All because my family worked to gather practically.

‎Until our next catch...

‎Thanks for the visit! Have a lovely day. Buh-bye. 👋🥰

Is this tilapia? Correct me if I'm wrong haha. But anyways, my lolo love catching fish also but not in a pond cause we haven't haha. He frequently catch fish in the ocean and bring home always — it's fresh and delicious.

Wow. Catching fish in the ocean needs more patience and skills than catching fish in a pond. And for sure it's more satisfying also. 😍 Pero oo, tilapia yung hinuli ni pa haha

Hola 👋🏻, que chévere que puedan pescar su propio pescado para la cena, hace mucho que no voy a pescar, no es que me llame mucho la atención, pero si anteriormente iba con algunos amigos a tirar la pita en el agua de algún arrollo, buen provecho.

In times of financial crisis it's really good to have your own resources, things that you just grow in your backyard... those are very helpful, I'm planning to create a pond too where I could take care of fishes or crabs, but I still doubt If it's going to be successful since it needs a proper fending, specially good water😔

Wow! What a worthwhile reading, such a nice family to see how you all help each other with work. And your dad did a good job of having a fishpond so the family can have it for free. It really shows an example of love, teamwork, and being smart. Thanks for sharing this sweet moment.
