Jason was 11 years old and went fishing every chance he got at his family’s small house on an island in the middle of a New Hampshire lake.
On the day before the bass season (鲈鱼季) opened, he and his father were fishing early in the evening, catching sunfish. Before long, it seems to be something very big on the hook (挂钩). It was the largest fish he had ever seen, but it was a bass.
Jason and his father looked at the handsome fish, the fish jumped up and down in the moonlight. The father looked at his watch. It was 10 P.M.—two hours before the season opened. He looked at the fish, then at the boy. “You will have to put it back, my son,” he said. “I have never seen such a big fish before,” cried the boy. “There will be other fish,” said his father. Jason looked around the lake. Even though no other fishermen or boats were anywhere around in the moonlight, the boy could tell by his father’s voice that the decision couldn’t be changed. He slowly worked the hook out of the lip of the huge bass and lowered it into the water.
That was 34 years ago. And he has never again caught such a beautiful fish as the one he landed that night long ago. But he does see the fish again and again — every time he comes up against a question of ethics. For, as his father taught him, ethics are simple matters of right and wrong. It is only the practice of ethics that is difficult.
