My Catfish (For Karilea)
~ By Sue ~

In order to catch a catfish, he said
you have to use a worm
The thought of touching such a slimy thing
just did not appeal to me, so
I set out to show him, just what I could do
As I baitied my hook with the fake one
he just sat there laughing at me
You should have seen his eyes bug out
when I pulled in that big catfish
He just couldn't believe his eyes

This reminded me of a cat fish experience I had.  At the end of a fishing for trout day, I left my pole dangling just a bit in the lake to go have dinner and sleep.  The next morning I had a biggy cat fish.  I think they will eat just about any thing.

Enjoyed your fish tail! ~ I mean, fish "tale"!

I absolutely love to go fishing! However, I haven't done so for several years. I zone out and get into a meditative state and have not a care in the world. I enjoy being in nature and I also enjoy the anticipation of catching the biggest fish in the lake!

Some fish will eat anything that moves ~ or doesn't move! I caught a whitefish (it's in the sucker family like catfish and sturgeon etc.) with a french fry when I ran out of bait!

I have a photo of my husband
who is almost as large as the catfish
they pulled out from the river...

AND....

I think my husband was about five years old at the time....

and the cat probably outweighed him by about 100 pounds...

HUGE sucker!

Enjoyed this, Sue!  More stories, please!
