What The Heck?

It is official, "Village of Kansas City Finally Added to World’s Maps". That’s right, the once obscure small town of Kansas City is finally getting the recognition it deserves. Kansas City has served as a major industrial hub of the Mid-West, has contributed to the development of Jazz and Blues, and is known in the cult world of Barbeque for it’s unique flavor. It’s history as a “place to be” however has been sketchy at best. It even lost out to Topeka, a city NOT named after the state, as the capital.

All of that is about to change as the eyes of the world finally give KC the attention it deserves. In the quiet hours of the morning Sunday, before the harsh sun had risen to apply it’s mediocrity to the western hemisphere, when man and beast are most at harmony, one man was laboring against all of nature to accomplish what, until now, had never been done. May 22nd the Two Thousand and Fifth year of our Lord, Tim Pruitt made contact with a being that has never been equaled in the recorded history of any known peoples.

In true Kansas City form, this spectacular entity may now be witnessed by the masses, aristocrat and proletariat, theologian and lay-person, vegetarian and omnivore, at the Cabelas Outfitter Store in Kansas City, Kansas. What should one prepare themselves to see if they make this pilgrimage? No less than the 124 Lb. catfish that Tim caught in the Mississippi river. That makes it the world record blue catfish. Take that NY and Tokyo!

Have you guys seen some of the catfish caught by noodlers? Those are some big fish and they weren't caught by 30lb. fishing line....
