For eight years, John Salko fished the "Bay Of Fundy" off West Quoddy Head.                                                       Lubec, Maine -  28 foot tides.

Once as a fisherman, a fish whisphered to me, "Set me free and I will give you the vision of my world."  The fish was beautiful and its scales glittered and I hungered - indeed a trophy to others. As I thought, watching this fish starting to gasp with its life wilting in my hand, I set it free. And instantly, the fish appeared in my mind and I was deep in the ocean swimming and remembering my encounter with the hand who released me.    John R. Salko
