 Submitted by DICK TAYLOR/WoodhullREADER PICS: Six-year-old Alex Hand of Woodhull recently caught these fish while fishing at a private pond with his dad, Jeremy Hand. Alex, a kindergarten student, has been fishing since he was one-year-old and goes as often as his dad has time to take him. The catch in the photo included crappies, blue gill and catfish. His Mom, Kelli, says his favorite part of fishing is baiting the hook. These fish were caught on tube jigs and dew worms. Calendar of Events Advertisement
