Fishin’ with a mission

To some it's just a sunken boat. To 11 year-old Michael ÒLittle MikeÓ Archie, center, and his friends, William Crawford,6, left, and Mark Dennis, 9, itÕs the best fishing hole in the world. Only a two minute walk from Little Mike's house and the fun begins! He borrows hooks, weights and corks, and gets worms any way he can.  Little Mike is on a mission to catch the Big One.  Maybe the biggest one ever at the pond in the Greenlakes subdivison. 

Oh yeah, heÕs caught some big ones. Some of the best-looking bream in the pond. Double-hand size bream. Bream so pretty it makes the whole neighborhood proud. There's no place Little Mike would rather be than on that water, throwing out his line and waiting... waiting for the next beauty that comes along.
