Fish chum: UK angler's remains made into bait

Pete Hodge, an avid UK carp angler and fishing writer who died last month of a terminal illness at age 61, is back catching fish again. That's because, per Hodge's wishes, his cremated remains were made into groundbait and catapulted into the River Huntspill, to chum carp for his angling pals to catch. "Pete always said that when he died he wanted the fish to gobble him up so he could swim up and down the river after his death," said Hodge's wife, Caroline. In The Evening Standard.
