Reflection paragraph on process

My search topic was pretty easy. But it go really boring about  half way into my project. I think the easy thing to do was find a photo, and write about it. If i could do it again i would change my topic to something more fun to find out about.

Reflection paragraph on sources

All the sources i used gave me good information. It was not easy, but not that hard to find websites that gave me good, and true information. The website that was most useful was National Geographic. It was the most useful because it had all different species of catfish. And had good information on all of them. Animal Planet/river monsters was a very usful site too. It had information on dangers catfish, and also others.

finding paragraph #3

"A True Goliath: Chrysichthys cranchii, which is called the "kamba" in the Congo, is a pretty big fellow. (Fishbase.org) lists its maximum length as around 5 feet, with a top weight of nearly 300 pounds, and there's a semi-credible report of one that topped out a foot longer and 100 pounds heavier. It's one of 59 members of the family Claroteidae, a clan that also includes the giraffe catfish and the African big eye catfish, both of which have more charismatic monikers. Depending on what country you're in and what language you speak, the kamba is also known as the kanzema, kokuni, the manora or the tshirima." This paragraph tells me about the Kamba catfish.  This was a species of catfish that i didnt know about. And this catfish is found in Africa.

Reflection paragraph on findings

I have learned alot about my research project, which is catfish. I have also answered some of the things i did not know about catfish. I learned what kind of catfish are dangers. I found out many species that i did not know about. I learned about noddling which is a sport when somebody goes in a river, or pond and puts his hand in a catfish hole, and pulls the catfish up if you can. But i still have some questions about how catfish feed, and what is the best bait for catfish.

Finding Paragraph #2

"The history of fishing goes back nearly as far as the fish. Fishing history dates back to when people of ancient times began fishing for food, when pieces of bone were used as hooks and lengths of vine as line. The oldest known painting of an angler using a rod or staff comes from Egypt and history dates it from about 2000 BC. Greek philosophers Plato and Aristotle mentioned angling in their writings, and another Greek writer, Plutarch, gave tips about fishing lines. In the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD, Roman rhetorician Claudius Aelian wrote about Macedonian trout anglers using artificial flies as lures." This paragraph tells you about the history of fishing. And it answers my question "were did fishing start". This tells you oldest known painting of somebody fishing was around 2000 BC.
