"Three-year-old Rickie Dewberry's
first fish story was a whop
per. Of course, Rickie had two
natural advantages over most
novice anglers: his family loves
fishing and he lives amid the
bountiful lakes of central Florida.
For Rickie's first venture with rod'
and reel, the Dewberrys chose
Lake Apopka near Orlando. As
the pictures show, it was a happy
choice, for sportsman Rickie made
a handsome catch at something
of a record age.
