Natural Born Pisherman

Our Jake, still three months shy of his third birthday, has discovered fishing, and can handle his tiny rod and reel with as much dexterity as many adults. Late Sunday afternoon, we rode with Pat in his golf cart to a nearby pond on the golf course, so that Jake could "pish", as he calls it.

We had hardly been there any time before Jake had landed a nice bream and a large speckled perch, all by himself. After making a perfect cast, he watched his cork intently, then reeled in his catch.

At one point, when I tried to make conversation with him, he admonished, "Don't talk! You'll scare the pish!"
