Turns out there are a few problems. One, it's too bouyant, so I'll need to weight it down a bit. Two, the fork needs sharpening and it needs barbs, so that the fish won't slip off.

I'll take a metal saw and cut into the forks. Then I'll bend it out, so that each fork has a home-made barb. I'll snap a pic when I'm done.

It's like the horse wanted so badly to get an autograph from the driver.

This fire, which covers some 45 square miles of an area in North Carolina, USA, was apparently started by a lightning strike.

Man, it looks as if someone has nuked a farm...

It's only a shame if someone or someone's property got hurt by it. Otherwise, big fires like that are normal and healthy. OBTW, 45 square miles is nothing. Go check out California wildfires to see some really big ones.

I don't live in a vast country so that seemed quite a bit to me. Unfortunately we have had too many wildfires in the past few years and yes many lost their properties.

Kalah, I'll see your nuke-like wildfire and raise you a real nuke:

This is a blast image of Tsar Bomba from Wikipedia. Notice how the sky has been burned so much that it looks like Jupiter.

It's not a photoshop trick. We only noticed the reflection while exporting pictures to the computer.
