French Quarter: --- A seven-year-old boy had a shock of his life on Saturday morning while fishing in the French Quarter salt pond. According to an aunt of Jacob Sony, the child was fishing in the pond with his small fish line when a fish weighing about 20 kilos held on the line.

The woman said the child screamed out for help asking his uncle that was nearby to assist him since the huge catch was pulling him into the pond. Miss Jacob said Franz Jacob went to assist the child by taking his fish gun and piercing the fish so that the child could pull it in. In photo are Jacob and his six-year-old cousin who was also on hand with their uncle with the huge fish.
