"As a beginner, I did not know what to expect for fishing. Little did I know that fishing is more than just a leisure sport. I gained so many meaningful perspectives through my interactions with the people in the club during the events. I also look forward to the adrenaline rush whenever a fish or prawn gets hooked! Thank you SMURF for constantly being so patient in teaching me the fishing and prawning techniques at the events! - Hagen Phia, LKCSB Year 3"

In Y1, I joined SMU Fishing as an Events Executive. Not only was I able to engage in my hobby, I was able to develop close friendships with like-minded individuals and even went on personal fishing trips with them. Having gained so much from the club, I decided to run for President to spread the love for fishing.
