What do four boys do when they are bored stiff one day after school and can't find anything better to do? They go "fishing" in a little puddle of a pond and harvest these little beasts. Behind our house we have an area that is deemed the run off area. When it rains here in the area, which it does often, to keep our yards and homes from flooding our drains are all connected by some duct and it flows to the run off. So when it rains a lot the area behind our house fills up with water. I have yet to figure out how these little fish got there in the first place but they were there in great numbers. The boys got a plastic cup and filled it up with about 60+ fish. They counted. Oh boy did they stink, the boys and the fish!!!
But it was an adventure that kept them occupied and out of my hair for an afternoon. Too bad some poor little fish had to sacrifice their lives for such a cause!!!
