I figured you'd be the one to beat me to that story when I read the catfish quote. I've heard that story for a long time. The Ohio state record for catfish is somewhere around 76lbs, which is big enough to be scary. Things like these are the reasons I'm so majorly hydrophobic. Think I'm getting into the water with a 100lb catfish? Hell, I wouldn't swim if I knew there were 1lb catfish around. Dirty sonuvabitch probably still wants to eat me, it does!
