  1. Sound like he has a big problem. I have thought of several other comments but will keep them to myself (for a change). I wonder if he could be brought up for animal cruelty charges?? Ok, I'm done.

  2. CFR is a great organization! When it was first started, one of the points of the program is that the action of casting a fly rod is very similar to the physical therapy used after breast cancer surgery. Plus.....you get to meet others that have the same medical history and catch fish to boot. Thanks for mentioning CFR. My father's oncologist mentioned that 10% of breast cancer patients are men!

    My mother is a survivor.

  3. After reading the other replies, I remembered the days in Louisiana. Flatheads, call Opelousas there, were caught with a stumpline. Tie heavy nylon cord to a stump with a heavy sinker and a large hook through the tail of a bluegill. Flatheads prefer live bait. Never fished for them; preferred channel cats for eating.

  4. Back in the olden days, no one really was concered about keeping records or weighing fish. I remember seeing pictures of a sturgeon taken in the Pacific NW. One sturgeon was put in a horsedrawn wagon. The head was at the front and the tail was touching the ground. Figure how long it was! The largest catfish I ever saw was taken by my grandfather's neighbor. Blackie held the head even with his and the tail touched the ground. Blackie was about 5' 6" to 5' 9". Oh yes, caught in Wills Creek, Guernsey Co., Ohio.

  5. I think the world record is 142 lb., caught in the Mississippi River near Alton, Illinois. I'll check and see. Just did a Bing search and the catfish was 124 lb.! Got the numbers reversed. Anyway, both are real big fish. Can you imagine how many hushpuppies you would need for a fish fry?
