Oh no! They are all dying!
While out with a few @little-peppers yesterday, I stumbled upon a little pond that was drying up. At first all I saw was dead fish, but then I noticed that some were still alive. Armed with a few little nets, a tiny bucket, and a desire to help these creatures out and prevent them from perishing, I got to work as quick as I could.
I wanted to avoid a situation like this, where hundreds of dead fish would be left without water. There was a good mixture of Perch, Largemouth Bass, Sunfish, and Carp. Although not every fish was rescued, the ones that were should be happy about it. Check out the video for more.
MINNOWS MATTER - SAVE THE LITTLE FISH!
As always, I'm @papa-pepper and here's the proof:

I feel like one of those minnows!

lol, I was thinking the same thing. With the price drops of the last several weeks, the water is getting low and the minnows will be flopping around on here as well. I love the #minnowsmatter it just fits right in with steem. Well done, and thanks for supporting us minnows.

You're welcome man! How are you enjoying it here?

I'm enjoying it. Still finding my way around, trying out new things, testing different ways to get posts noticed, etc. My first garden veggies post actually did fairly well, I entered quite a few resteem contests and tried a couple of cheap bots. It ended up getting votes from a couple whale/witnesses ( @hendrikdegrote @drakos and @curie ) I'm pretty sure they were just trying to be nice like you were, because the post was probably lacking a bit of style.
I do have a quick question, do you use a specific markdown editor or do you create your posts in HTML?
Thanks again for always being ready to help out.

You can't have full grown adults when the lives of young are wasted. Whether on the Steem blockchain or in the off-line world, we need to equip and enable the newest members of our families and communities. They will become leaders, helpers, dreamers, and creators. We can be apart of that.

I'd settle for the ability to have 3 or 4 category links for our posts. Anything. Personally, I'm thinking of actually using my poor old neglected web site as a categorizing weapon for my steemit posts.
Finding my old works requires all the google.com search hacks I know -- and I've hardly written anything compared to your volumes.

Being a Waste not, Want not guy. collect all the dead fish that you showed, dig them into your garden beds as a top fertilizer, or, process them through the chooks.
Imagine half of the next door farm, dug to 4 to 6 feet deep in an interesting shape, full of fish waiting to jump onto your hook.
Electric fence it to keep out the poachers, charge the kids a buck an entry, you will need the other half of the farm for parking.

I've thought about that! I almost collected them right away, but @mama-pepper is still trying to train me on how to have a newer truck, so piles of dead fish on the seat is out so far.... but don't worry, soon enough it'll be an old truck!

good to see that she still thinks you are still trainable.
don't worry, after 50 odd years she will realise it is a hopeless task and give up.

I use fish for fertilizer all the time, and I'm even working on some "fish emulsion" projects right now. Unfortunately, I had no buckets at the moment.
Good news to hear that she'll eventually be giving up!
