I'm trying to change the image of a boat after catching a fish and I can't seem to figure out the syntax in order to accomplish this. Right now the Hook image is being affected by setImage and I want the boat's to change. Here's the code I'm using: 
public void CatchFish()
{
int count = 0;
if (Greenfoot.isKeyDown("space"))
{
Actor fish = getOneIntersectingObject(Fish.class);
{
if (fish != null)
{
getWorld().removeObject(fish);
count = count + 1;
if (count == 1)
{
getWorld().getObjects(Boat.class);
setImage("1fish.gif");
}
}
}
}
}
}

Line 14, does not set a local variable to the boat object. Line 14 and 15 need to be 
Boat boat = (Boat) getWorld().getObjects(Boat.class).get(0);
boat.setImage("1fish.gif");
The first line gets the first object (in the zero position) from the list of objects that 'getObjects(Class cls)' returns. The object is returned as of an Object type (not a Boat type) and therefore needs to be cast to a Boat class object. The variable 'boat' (that is declared to be of type Boat) is then set to that object. The next statement says to change the image of that boat object to the image in the file "1fish.gif".
