For longer than most of us have been alive, Rebecca Swails has enjoyed fishing and eating what she’s caught and she shows no sign of slowing down. At the age of 88 she is still spry of spirit and mind. To many, she serves as an inspiration. Tiny in stature she remains huge in her motivation and ambition, which is the way she has led her entire life. When she began dating her late husband Wayne in the mid 1940’s fishing was part of their life, never waning “We would go fishing on our dates,” she said with a smile. Back then, during the spring, the couple loved plying area streams for suckers. “Many people don’t realize just how good suckers are to eat,” she explained.
