First time fishing with a bionic arm!
Description

A seven-year-old boy born without an arm has been able to hold a fishing rod with two hands for the first time - after receiving a £13,000 bionic limb.
Inspirational Alex Sparkes spent birthdays 'wishing his arm would grow', only to be left heartbroken when he was told it wasn't possible.
But he has been gifted a 'life-changing' prosthetic arm by 'Britain's kindest plumber' James Anderson, 55, who was touched by Alex's moving tale.
Since receiving his Black Panther-themed arm, Alex has been able to put toothpaste on his toothbrush for the first time and will learn how to tie his shoelaces.
And Alex is ecstatic to have finally fulfilled a lifelong dream of holding a rod for the first time during a fishing trip with his dad Robin Sparkes, 31.
The youngster has been pictured reeling in fish with Robin at Cornfield Fisheries in Lancashire.
