Catch of the Day

Fishing is a favorite activity of ours down on Mom's farm. The lake (which we can't swim in anymore due to out-of-control algae -- if we kill the algae, we kill the fish along with it) is home to bluegills and large-mouth bass, and is rumored to have a catfish or two. We were very successful our first day out, catching a couple of nice-sized large-mouth bass. John decided that this would be his new pet. Prior to catching this fish, the worms and minnows we bought for bait were his pets. After we caught this guy, he wanted to throw the bait into the bucket holding the bass, to feed his new pet.



Later, when Chris was fishing with Jeff, he told his dad he really wanted to catch a fish, and what would they do if they caught one?
"Then we would reel it in."
"What if it's as big as an Orca?"
"Then the fish will probably catch you."
"What if we catch an Orca?"
"Well, Orcas don't live in fresh water. They live in salt water."

You know what's coming next.

"What if we dump a whole lot of salt in the lake?"

Our own, personal Field of Dreams, of sorts. If you salt it, they will come.
