“Oh, yuck!”<\/p>\n\n

My daughter Laura stepped back and pinched her nose as I broke the neck of a hefty catfish, spilling its entrails into a blood-splattered bucket. Small price to pay for inch-thick, fresh fillets.<\/p>\n\n

Small price, too, for building a relationship with the third fisher on this expedition, Jeremy.<\/p>\n\n

Yesterday, sitting in my office for the first time, he wore a just-try-to-figure-me-out expression on his face. A high school senior, he came, he said, “just to keep peace with my mother.” Two days before, Jeremy had been expelled for pulling a hunting knife on a classmate.<\/p>\n\n

“So, why did you do it?” I asked.<\/p>\n\n

Silence.<\/p>\n\n

“What was going on in your thinker when you made your move?”<\/p>\n\n

More silence.<\/p>\n\n

“Look, I just want to be your friend,” I said, but the words felt hollow.<\/p>\n\n

“Prove it,” his eyes said, then shifted to the wall on my right.<\/p>\n\n

For more than an hour I tried to get through to him. But I felt like I was rowing around an island, getting a general view of things but not finding a place to land.<\/p>\n\n

“I have a girlfriend at school,” he said. They talk some, but not too much-afraid to get too close.<\/p>\n\n

“Ever been hurt badly by someone?” I asked.<\/p>\n\n

He admitted that he had, but he wouldn’t talk about it with anyone, not even his mother. Lord, help me, I prayed. This guy doesn’t trust his own mother, much less a probing stranger.<\/p>\n\n

There, he did it again. Something on the wall to my right caught his eye. Oh, of course, the calendar. Nice picture: a swarthy Indian displaying his catch.<\/p>\n\n

Walleyed pike, I think.<\/p>\n\n

I turned away, and then it hit me. I played my hunch.<\/p>\n\n

“You like to fish?”<\/p>\n\n

“Love it.”<\/p>\n\n

“Really?” Thank you, Lord. “Been fishing lately?”<\/p>\n\n

“Naw, not since we moved to town. But when I was a kid, we lived next to the Tensaw River, and I used to go every chance I got. It’s better to go when the water is high, where you can use a boat and set out a trout line overnight. Most of the time I caught catfish that way, and once I caught a fifteen pounder. But if the water is down, you wanna go for bream or bass that hang out around the stumps-course, you hafta know what you’re doing ’cause the water is hot and the fish are sluggish . . .”<\/p>\n\n

On he went for ten minutes and wasn’t even winding down when I interrupted, “It’s been a while since I’ve hung a fish myself. I’ve got a good mind to fool some catfish in the morning. Would you go with me?”<\/p>\n\n

“Are you serious?”<\/p>\n\n

“Serious as a heart attack.”<\/p>\n\n

“I’ll go. What time?”<\/p>\n\n

“Let’s make it seven-thirty, unless that’s too early.”<\/p>\n\n

“Not for me. I’ll buy the wrigglers.”<\/p>\n\n

The next day, we threw the little ones back and kept seven. The net scales tipped seventeen pounds. Jeremy was beaming.<\/p>\n\n

“I’ll clean ’em for you,” he said.<\/p>\n\n

He cleaned the first one, and I the next, tentatively curling my fingers around those dreadful spines.<\/p>\n\n

“Sometime we should go hunting together,” he offered.<\/p>\n\n

Who would have guessed-all this prompted by a picture on a wall calendar! And just two weeks earlier or later, that picture would not have been there.<\/p>\n\n

I knew a Fisherman bigger than both of us was maneuvering the boat.<\/p>\n\n
