Bear Fish?

We all know that bears are bigger than fish, right? At least larger than fresh water fish anyway. We’d feel safe saying that the king of the Sun bears (your’s truly) would vastly outweigh the largest catfish, right. I mean that blog a few back was about the largest blue catfish caught and it was 124 lb, so that should be a safe bet.

Well you’re all WRONG! On the elevator at 6:30 this morning when my eyes were still blurry I saw on the news updater thingy that some in May some men caught a, get this, 646 lb fresh water catfish in the Mekong river in Thailand. 646 lb. That is flippin’ huge. So to all those people that were like, “Oh noodling is so cool. You aren’t cool unless you have noodled, all the cool people do it,” I say, “Yeah, just keep doing that and wait until some you stick your arm in some hole and a catfish swallows you without even chewing. Have fun with that.

Yeah, you would have to be really stupid to try and noodle for Mekong Giant catfish. That's insane I tell you. Insane in the membrane.

Gross.

Maybe I could put the giant catfish in the pit at the Ackermans pasture in southwest Kansas. That'd be nice. Maybe it would eat a heifer.

Well, I guess that won't be possible. They're already eating it. Dang.
