Who Taught This Kid How To "Fish"?

By John Mesirow

This is definitely the most bizarre type of "fishing" The Juice has ever read about. As reported in the Strongsville, Ohio police blotter of the Sun Star Courier:

... officers had a chat with a boy because of his unusual fishing methods.

Concerned residents called police because the youngster -- who was at Waterford Lake on Prospect Road -- was catching fish with a bow and arrow that had a suction cup attached.

Sure, that's a little odd. But then ...

He would take the fish out of the water, beat them to death on a rock and throw them back in the pond.

Hmmm. This might be something his parents should know about, no? Apparently not.

Officers told the young fisherman that only catch-and-release fishing is allowed at the pond. The boy left the area.
