A Once In a Lifetime “First Catch”
While Brodie certainly would have preferred a large fish as his first catch with his brand new rod, the leather purse has given him a memory that will last a lifetime. Even though it wasn’t quite the prized possession he was hoping for, the 11-year-old was still glad to be able to return the purse to its rightful owner.
Ben Thought It Was Treasure
Later, it was revealed that Ben initially thought Brodie had caught a treasure of sorts. As it was being reeled in and placed onto the deck of the boat, Brodie remembers Ben’s exact words: “You ain’t got no fish, you got a treasure”. Pity, it wasn’t exactly the treasure he might have been hoping for.
