I can't remember how young I was, but I can remember the fish. My father and I went out to a local lake on our run-about. I think my mom and sister had to do something that day, so it was just us. I can't remember CATCHING the fish, but I do remember it was a sunfish. We put it in a bucket, and brought it home to show my mother. When my sister saw it, the thought of killing it was an atrocity of un-imaginable proportions. We brought to a stream close by, where it was set free to live a long and healthy life...
