Smart List: 60 People Shaping the Future of K-12 Education
The striper that Joan caught measured 38″, much larger than my fish. I used the angler’s trick of holding my fish out toward the camera lens. (IE, I lied!)
Not sure whether to be more impressed with the size of John’s catch, or his amazing ability to hold it up with only ONE HAND!
(Remind me never to try to arm wrestle the man!)
All the best!

Yes! But, I’m even more amazed by his honesty – I’ve never known a fisherman to say, ‘it was smaller than it looks in the picture…’
Okay that’s a big striper. Great to see that he took the kids with him.
John’s wife is giving hard competition to his husband in the size of the fish they caught. Nice!!
To me what matters most is not so much the size of the fish caught. Rather is it the simple fact that it was done as a family activity! Priceless
