ON THE POND—Above, Chelsea Mitchell of Simi Valley shows her niece, Bianca Morris, 3, how to cast into the Rancho Simi Community Park pond during the 34th annual Huck Finn Fishing Derby on Saturday. At right, Simi resident Jennifer Jones, 10, puts her prizewinning catfish back onto the stringer after it's been weighed. Jennifer won a trophy and a fishing pole for having caught one of the day's heaviest fish.
