HERE'S A GOOD FISH STORY FOR YOU...

How does a good fish story merit an editorial? Well, consider this.

A local fellow catches an 82-pound blue catfish in the Mississippi River using a rod and reel. This fellow is pleased as punch, as well he should be. Can you imagine hauling in a fish as big as a well-fed 8-year-old farm boy with a rod and reel? But this fisherman tells the newspaper, which is taking a photo of the big fish, that he wants no credit. He doesn't want his name in the paper. Period.

In the annals of human history, there are uplifting and inspiring stories of men and women who have chosen anonymity over fame, personal satisfaction over wealth. But this may be the first time ever a fisherman a fisherman! ever chose to remain nameless rather than accepting the glory.

A fisherman! Can you believe that? That's why it's worth an editorial, plain and simple.
