Jake's Favorite Pastime

Jacob has been working on his Fishing Merit Badge. He has been fishing daily in the neighbors pond. This is his first catch. He brought it home and actually ate it. The smoke detector did go off during the cooking phase of the project. Jake says it was delicious. It was buttered, battered, and fried. His next goal is to catch a catfish. I am trying to suppress my animal rights activist tendencies in order to support my son in this endeavor.
