Our planned encounter this weekend with a giant catfish in a private pond

Hmmmmmmmmm! be carefull what you look for you might just find it.

Believe it or not - I have never eaten catfish. My husband brought one home one day, and the sucker lived in our empty sink for hours. That just don't look natural, ya hear?? But, yes, Leah - we will go eat WHEREVER you want to eat. I promise I will take a bite, but I ain't promising anything else. I saw noodling on TV once - that didn't appeal to me, either, but I will put my "prissy" side :blinking: away for the day and venture into the murky 12-foot depths in search of a big'un :azvatar:. I will probably learn more buoyancy control in one dive than I have in 50 put together, 'cause I ain't slamming into the bottom right on top of a mammouth catfish!

I'ma skeered!!!

Some say, "If yer skeered, say yer skeered!" I would LOVE to dive some ponds but the Georgia cotton mouth tells me to stay away. can't believe I used to swim in the river with them and didn't think twice. Guess that is just the imortality of a Teen.

OK, if there's one thing in this world that I r-e-a-l-l-y don't like, it's snakes! We had lots of them up at Jocassee, and Mama always told me to stay away from the riverbanks - and I did! Lord help me . . . no, Lord help YOU, Leah, if I see a snake :no

 

[TekDiveGirl]
