Call it Biology 101. Max (center) and Finn (right) watch a young fisherman as he carefully removes the hook from a panfish caught at Brighton's Mill Pond on Sunday. The fish was hooked at the side of its mouth and this young man had to take his catch to his dad for help with removing the hook.
Ed and I had watched with Max and Finn as the fish took the bait, the bobber went under the surface of the water, and the young fisherman reeled in his catch. Then things got interesting as the removal of the hook took some skill and care. The seriousness of all three boys -- one practioner and two onlookers -- makes the moment.
