This weekend, 10/22-10/24 we were not able to go fishing. Once again due to our heavily busy schedules. The good news is that we are still ahead of schedule because we originally planned to do the sport 2 weeks, but we soon realized that 2 weeks was too long. Since we will be ahead of schedule, we have planned a surprise that we will do towards the end of this project. Over this past week, to keep up with our project, we have done some research about fish in general and the history of how fishing started.
Fun Facts about Fish: 1) There are over 30,000 different species of fish. 2) Fish have been on the Earth for more than 450 million years. 3) An estimated number of 15,000 fish have yet to be discovered. 4) The world's most common fish to find is a Grass Carp. 5) One of the world's rarest fish to find is a Devil Hole's Pup Fish. 6) China is the world's #1 leading fish producer. Fun Facts about the History of Fishing: 1) Ancient Egyptians would use things such as woven nets, harpoons, and even hooks to catch Nile perch, catfish, and eel. 2) Early people of India would use harpoons attached to long cords to catch their fish. Harpoons: barbed spear that is attached to a long cord, can be thrown by hand or fired by a gun 3) The first use of fishing rods can be traced as far back as 40,000 years ago. 4) The first rods were made out of six-foot long bamboo, hazel shoots, and thin flexible wood with a piece of horsehair (used as the line), and a hook was attacked to the end of it. 5) Fishing tackle was improved within the late 1600s. 6) Rods were made to be stronger and thinner in the late 1800s. Edited on 12/05/21: Looking back, correcting some grammatical errors. Adding more information about fishing and the facts about fishing.
