Ouch - sorry to hear about that Lee. Hope you get well soon. As for the catfish. I used to love going to the river for them and having Mom fry them up in butter and onions after I skinned them. But I hear that eating fish from the old Susquehanna isn't too healthy anymore.
I would like to get my license and go after some if I knew a nice clean stream where they were around my parts. You got my mouth watering as I type this.
