Now THAT's a FISH!!!  A fish like that is a lifechanger for a kid.
Prouboy, as one of those that sometimes rides herd on a group of up to 18 young people, I will say I can feel your pain on the noise etc.  I love solitude & often camp alone for that reason, but when you have 18 energetic young people out there ther will be more noise than I am comfortable with sometimes .  That's just the way it's goint to be.  Kids having fun will often be kids making noise.  We DO make sure their is a stack of firewood to last a couple of days when we leave, pick up all our trash & any other we can find, & with their permission we often help others with their gear on portages.  We always give smaller groups the right of way at any portage.
We have no electronics to create noise.  Just haven't figured out how to have a quiet game of capture the flag yet... :-[
