catfish are a diverse group of ray-finned fish, named for their prominent barbels
catfish are carnivores (meat eaters)
the smallest species of catfish is known as the banjo catfish and is only .39 inches long
catfish can be silver, gray, white, tan, green or yellow depending on the species
we’ve caught Blues (with a blue tint to them, like the one above and below) and Muds (the last photo)
The entire body of catfish is covered with taste buds that can detect chemicals in the water and respond to touch. the greatest concentration of sensory organs are located on the whiskers
Catfish John
“Mama said, ‘Don’t go near that river,
Don’t be hanging around old ‘Catfish John.’
Come in the morning I’d always be there,
Walking in his footsteps in the sweet Delta dawn.”
written by Allen Reynolds/Bob Mcdill
released in November 1972 as the fourth single from the album “Catfish John”/ “Chained”
also been performed by Jerry Garcia, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Johnny Russell and other artists (wikipedia)
Ok, that’s enough facts for today. Later, I’ll do my READING post. I’m actually thinking about tweaking it – more than about reading, but also mythology, folklore…more about knowledge than about reading! So, we shall see. This weeks will be about Old King Cole. I’ve just got to figure out what to call the series…READING won’t work. Any ideas?
I guess that’s all I have for now!
Hope everyone has a great August day, night or evening where ever you are!
Today is International Bow Day and National Soft Ice Cream Day! Go tie a bow on and have some ice cream! You deserve it!!
Thanks for visiting!

Matthew 5: 10-12 (NKJV) Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.11 Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. 12 Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
