CATCH OF A LIFETIME

There was once an 11 year old who went fishing with his father, they were catching sunfish and perch with worms. Then he threw the hook into the water again and when his pole rolled over, he knew that something huge was on the other end.
Behold, he had caught a big fish: A bass fish that was banned by the government because the bass fishing tournament industry helped to sell recreational fishing products. Bass is the name of some species of fish that are often caught for food or sport.
The boy and his dad both looked at the handsome fish with its gills playing back and front in the moonlight. The father looked at the fish, then at the boy and said; "son, you will have to put it back into the water. " Dad," cried the son, "there will be no other fish as big as this one. Why can't we take it away? It's 10p.m and there are no security men around."
Painfully however, he dropped the fish back into the water. That was about 44 year ago! Today, he is a successful architect and he still takes his children to fish. He has never caught such a big fish as the one he lost 44 years ago, but he is happy he kept his integrity.
