[QUOTE]Originally posted by Purl Gurl: [QB] catfish roping.. heh.. heh.. that is funny. During my childhood, ornery adults told us stories about a catfish which eats children. Grassy Lake borders our farm on the back forty, probably a good quarter of mile of lakeshore. Southeast Oklahoma is very wet, very green and very overgrown, much like an Amazon jungle; dark and spooky. In some areas, the canopy overhead is so thick, daylight never seems to come. Deadly snakes are everywhere. Cotton Mouth and Rattlesnakes, mostly, six feet, eight feet long and big as your arm. Toss in the world's greatest population of ticks and chiggers, zillions and zillions, and Eagletown becomes a place out to kill you and eat you, every step you take. We kids are told of this one-hundred pound catfish, five-hundred pound catfish, half ton catfish, depending on who is telling the story and how much White Lightning wets the story teller's lips. "Tellin' ya, child, that catfish swims up near shoreline, down there by Mudline Road, slithers its stinging whiskers up on shore, then dangles them over trees to look like vines. One of you young-ins comes walking along and that century old catfish wraps one of its whiskers 'round your neck, gets a good grip so yall can't holler for help. Right quick, that old catfish commences stinging you with those whiskers and soon you're plain stupefied and can't move. Then it drags you right on into the lake then swallows you whole, while you are still alive! You best stay away from that lake, child." Intent of this story is keep kids away from the lake so not to fall in and drown. Any wonder I am crazy after growing up thinking a huge catfish is out to swallow me whole? nakishtalali - catfish Taha [/QB][/QUOTE]
