And I always took it for granted that catfish were nice and docile like cats!! They don't purr, but stun! Congrats on your fine win, Susan. Regards // paul

I did not know that catfish were among the electric fish - the things I learn on soup....

I sure hope I never come across one of them. When I was a little girl, I thought for some reason that eels would come out of the MIssissippi and come to my porch, so i sat there with my feet up. The silly things I remember!! This just made me remember that thing in my childhood.
