A fisherman pulls a 5-pound striper from the chop. Seconds later,
another angler lands a nearly identical specimen. A third drags a
fat 2-foot catfish out of the shallows and onto the rocks.
All this is happening on a hot weekday morning in
the shadow of the H. Neely Henry Dam in
Ohatchee, which turned 50 years
old in June.
