To some, it’s just a sunken boat. To 11-year-old Michael “Little Mike” Archie, center, and his friends, William Crawford, 6, left, and Mark Dennis, 9, it’s 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 from the pond in the Greenlakes subdivision.

Oh yeah, he’s 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.
