Eeling

On my afternoon walk, I spotted two boys fishing down by the river. I approached them, asking what they were after. "Eels," the one answered, "but we catch and release." He was obviously the experienced one, as he was the one holding the line. "This is my first time eeling," said his friend, "so I'm just watching my friend."

I love the photo of the boy's hands, Sakiwi. He obviously has a delicate approach to eeling. What an old-fashioned way to entertain yourself. I like this post very much. Reminds me of my childhood.
