Long John Silver would be proud

And so would my Grandpa…an Illinois man caught a 124-lb catfish the other day. Do you realize how big this is? They say analogous to the size of a 6th grader. Amazing!

My Grandpa used to have a smokehouse growing up, he ran his own fish market, with fresh fish and smoked fish. Smoked carp was huge, as we lived on the Mississippi River. Smoke catfish was good as well…hmmm, that fish would be a hella lot of meat!

UPDATE: For the sake of being PC, I removed my analogy (which was somewhat poor to start with) from above: ‘I mean for some women they’d be called ‘overweight’ at that weight.’. I was informed (not admonished) that the comment could be misconstrued, and I want to make sure I don’t lose the large female audience I’m sure flocks to the interesting comments I have to make here 🙂
