Miller wrote this recount at home after going to the boat show. Here he is holding a a signed photo of Matt Watson.


On Friday I went home early from school because I would have missed the boat show. I went with my family. We looked at white pointer boats. We found a white pointer team. They were really nice. They gave me a poster of a boat. We met three famous fishing stars. One was called Mick and one was called Scott. We also met Matt Watson. My brother Harrison asked a question. The question was: "Have you caught an oil fish?" He said: "Yes!"

There were prizes. We didn't win any. We got to drive a remote control boat. We met up with some friends. We went out for dinner at Wendy's. I got a burger. Then we went home.
