3 Children Reel In Giant Catfish
POSTED: 4:55 pm EDT April 5, 2005
UPDATED: 5:16 pm EDT April 5, 2005
Three children in Houston, Texas, reeled in a giant blue catfish (pictured, left) while fishing in a bayou, according to Local 6 News.
The Spring Brach Middle School students said it took about 30 minutes to bring the 65-pound fish to shore at the bayou located at Shasta and Memorial.
The giant fish may be the largest ever caught in the area. Local 6 News showed video of the boys unsuccessfully attempting to put the large fish in their cooler. Watch Local 6 News for more on this story.

I reckon the Catfish that was caught would give that little pussy cat a run for it's money.Perhaps the kitten will need to call in the 'hussy brigade' for backup? :-)

Hot seared and soft in the middle. Nothin like it.
My local favourites are BBQ Sockeye three hours out of the water and Wet Smoked Salmon canned in fish oil, (Vancouver Island Native Specialty)
Up here dry smoked Salmon is called Indian Candy.
I always wanted to try Oolichan grease but haven't been able to find any.

but I think it was catching too many of them in the muddy bayous of Houston and the muddy creeks of Ft. Worth that makes 'em a wee bit hard for me to "get into".
That is exactly it! My kids fish at the Bayou all the time, but we would never eat anything out of there - it is strictly catch and release. I seriously doubt this cat would taste good or be beneficial to one's health.

I cought a 455 lb cat fish. Catching the cat fish was easier than putting the 100lb cricket on the hook. I hooked a one eyed cat fish once but I couldn't get him in the boat, I had to cut him loose when I realized that his other eye was under the other side of the boat.

Hush Puppies are a staple here in the South. Glad you've discovered them. Now, you can sing "That's What I Like About the South."

To: Dad yer funny
I drove cross country with an Elvis impersonator - to see his sister. I dated his sister so I had to go.
We stopped in Hugo to see his grandparents. We stayed a few days and they took us to supper at a little diner. We had catfish, hush puppies and raw onion.
I've never had better catfish or hush puppies.

When my daughter was three she was trying to tell a waitress what she wanted to eat. She couldn't remember "hush puppies", so she thought and thought and finally proudly called out that she wanted the "doggie balls". In an very loud voice that most people in the restaurant could hear.
I was so embarrassed, but now I think it's cute.
