Unlike hunting, I was not raised fishing. My family owned a set of hand-me-down rods from someone who might have fished at one point. The rods themselves are classics, but in hopeless condition. By todays standards, they are antiques. The body of the rod I prefer to use is laminated wood, and the guides are rusted and have a tendency to grab the line. At one point they may have been proud shining brass. The reel was a mess, and for the longest time the whole rig sat inside my parents shed. Fishing was something we did on weekends, in stocked ponds, for fish that never knew better. One day when helping my father clean things up, I stumbled across the old rod which no-one had used in a decade and got a crazy idea: I was going to take up fishing.

MIAMI _ From time to time, I have lamented in this space about what I call the bite of the wrong fish. In other words, you go out fishing with a noted guide in order to write a story about a particular species and that turns out to be the one species you can't catch.

Call it what you want, but publishing the picture of the downed victim is nothing but sensationalism. It is only exceeded by your arrogance in your weak explanation to your readers.  Richard Bateman  Magna  (c) 2007 Deseret News (Salt Lake City).

The Arachno Terrorists  I dropped Rick off at his farm house. Being late summer he slept out on the back porch where it is nice and cool. I told him I would pick him up in the morning.    The next day I went to pick him up to take him to work. He greets me at the front door wearing cutoffs and a shirt.    "What the hell happened to you last night??" I asked looking at his legs.    His legs are covered with dozens of ugly tiny red marks about the size of an average zit.    "I need to go to the hospital. I am not feeling so good." he tells me.    "A nest of fiddlebacks got in bed with me last night. I was gangbanged."    "Oh my gawd..." I say in horror.    He was bitten in the classic way; in a bed, in a dark, dry area, in Oklahoma. Just over a week later those bites became large open sores, that if left untreated would look much like this. WARNING: EXTREMELY GRAPHIC PHOTOGRAPH.
