"That catfish head was almost as high as the back endgate of that truck ... and was only this much short from reaching clear across the pickup. That was a big fish." |

| Video Text: "[Back in the 1930s], we had some people up from Iowa. Quite a lot of people at different times would come and go fishing here. I’d always let them go in and go fishing. There were four men who came up on a Friday afternoon, about 5 o’clock. Then in the day they didn’t do much fishing. The next night they fished again. On Sunday morning, they came up into the yard here and they had a Chevrolet pickup. In the back of that pickup, you can believe this or not, in front of the endgate, they had caught a big catfish. That catfish head was almost as high as the back endgate of that truck and they had it laying right in front of it and I suppose it was about that much from the endgate and was only this much short from reaching clear across the pickup. That was a big fish." |
