Talk about solving two problems at once!

Egad! 660 lb. catfish? The biggest ones in the Oklahoma Aquarium were under 100 lbs. I guess it's a blessing that they're not using live babies for bait ...

[TheSpottedOwl]

Kittens? That's sick. Drop some dynamite into the river.

[sinkspur]

Shoot one or two of them, and it might stop.

[tet68]

Are you kidding? Catfish breed like rats.
Kats are even worse, they breed like catfish.

And you folks thought Hannibal Lecter was a fictional character...

[The Hon. Galahad Threepwood]

Kittens should only be used in monkeyfishing.

[Dog]

OK which one of you wants to get tied to a fishing line first....??

What the heck lets give the fish a big target..
