My Fishy Friends


For 25 years I have been studying and feeding the wild fish in the lakes of Quebec. Now these last ten years I stayed in one town and became really good friends with numerous Small Mouthed Bass, Sunfish and the Catfish. They come to me when I call them and allow me to hold them and they swim with me.
This is a documentary about this experience besides including the arrival of the formidable predator the catfish who found their way into the lake where they have decimated the sunfish population of the lake.
This movie also contains other perspectives regarding various water theories and other Historical FishGods on this planet. It also contains some secrets about water and other interrelated informations. This documentary about my friendship with wild lake fish also includes 5000 years of ancient history pertaining to fish related subjects explained by me and by a number of other friends. :-)
A Documentary like this can change your perspective of our world.
