It was reported that the first ones had blue eyes and blond hair.

They grow to Loch Ness Monster proportions, eat dogs and the occasional small child and make dang fine eatin' themselves! Yep, catfish are one of the Universe's greatest creations :wink:

They feast on the Threadfin Shad that get chopped up in the turbines and literally will not stop growing at any time in their life span. Grass Carp are the same way.
S scigirl Member North Shore, MA Joined: Jun 22, 2003 Posts: 153	S scigirl Posted posted on Wed, Jul 30, 2003 4:16 PM That is the secret to the success of the catfish - they will eat anything that is smaller than a Volkswagon Beetle. Carp are the same, but vegetarian of taste. But, that is also the reason many folks don't like to eat wild-caught catfish in the South - it is likened to eating a garbage disposal! (same goes for opossum - the genteel avoid nature's opportunists).

Oh, now you tell me. About two hours after finding that catfish stand, I guess I had catfish on the brain. So I pulled over at some sort of local "home cookin'" type of restaurant, hoping to sample some of the local flavors. I don't normally eat deep-fried foods at all (aside from the occasional pupu), but "when in rome", I thought... as I devoured three big slabs of deep fried Tennessee catfish, a big plate o' cheese grits, and my side order of hush puppies (only two of 'em!) for $8. That was a month ago, but I think I'm gonna be sick right about now, sort of a time-delay nausea...

I ikitnrev Tiki Socialite D.C. / Virginia Joined: Jul 27, 2002 Posts: 1325	I ikitnrev Posted posted on Fri, Aug 1, 2003 4:20 PM To see some pictures of those giant catfish, visit this site .... http://www.snopes.com/photos/noodling.asp That's a lot of catfish dinners there. The most amazing part about these pictures, is how the catfish were caught - by 'noodling,' which means you go underwater, stick your hand into the fish's mouth, and wrestle them to the surface. I don't plan on doing any noodling in my lifetime. Here's another article describing noodling. http://espn.go.com/outdoors/general/columns/sutton_keith/1336494.html Vern
