As a young boy looking forward to summer break, mine was especially

anticipated. I was spending a week with my Grandparents at their home

outside of Cedar Creek Texas. Grandpa was to take me fishing on Canyon

Lake. While making these plans, he and I had challenged one another as to who would catch the first

fish. Learning of this high stakes duel, Dad proceeded to go through his bass tournament fully-stocked

tackle box. Pulling a lure from this box, he instructed me how to fish a top water chugger. Fishing this

lure as he described is how I caught the first fish, a Large Mouth Bass weighing in at approximately

2 pounds, a giant for a young boy.

This became the inspiration for this bronze sculpture.

Most Texans find it entertaining to watch these bugs at work. Rolling their oversized balls of dung over and across unlevel terrain, in extreme weather conditions and the youngster amusing himself, aggrivating them by rolling their balls of dung off to the side is admirable. Upon thinking of this, their shear Tenacity, can teach us all a lesson.
