MARIO RUIZ/Daily Herald Dee Jay Bigler helps 13-year-old Jordan Huff of Pleasant Grove Junior High School catch a fish at Salem Pond during Kids Fishing Day 2007 Tuesday, May 8, 2007. More than 600 volunteers and thousands of fish came out to Salem Pond to help 850 special needs children catch over a thousand fish Tuesday, May 8, 2007. Thousands of trout were stocked in the pond before Tuesday's event, but most fish caught by the children were hooked and cast out only to be reeled right back to shore. "The reaction that these kids get from those slimy, little eight inch fish," said volunteer Dee Jay Bigler of Sportsmen for Fish & Wildlife. "It rejuvinates me," said Bigler who's been volunteering for six years. "It's one of the only days to really connect with nature," said Sarah Flinders of the US Forrest Service.
