He only grinned a little when Mammy June called him "the catfish boy." "Serves me good and right," he confessed to Rose. "I ought not to have gone into that brook without a bathing suit. And, anyway, I guess a boy can't catch fish of any kind with his hands."
Its lens was so slow that no pictures could be taken with it except in bright sunlight. I wrote about motor cars, willow farms, celebrities, freaks of nature in the city parks, catfish and junk heaps anything of which I could snap interesting photographs and find enough text to "carry" the picture.
That commander, now strengthened, and just doubling the numbers of our partisan, with fresh supplies of provisions and military stores, had once more pushed for the Pedee. He took the nearest route across Black river, at Wragg's Ferry, and, crossing the Pedee at Euhaney, and the Little Pedee at Potato Ferry, he halted at Catfish Creek, one mile from the present site of Marion Courthouse.
W. E. Roth describes crescentic hooks of coco-nut shell and wooden hooks with bone barb, and also barbs improvised from one of the spines of the catfish.

A large fishwife, with a basket on her head, was standing beside her comely grown daughter, who had put her large basket down, and both devoured Agnes with their eyes. "Staying in the house, Beck," exclaimed the mother of the girl, "has been healthy for some people." "Yes, mammy," answered the girl; "it's safer standing in market with catfish. He! he! he!"
A clothes-line wire cable, furnished with well-assorted hooks baited with cotton, dough, and cheese well mixed together, and stretched in eddy-water when the river is muddy, will give fine reward in carp, white perch, catfish, turtles, garfish, and sweet revenge on the bait-stealing guana.
You know he has to raise his head every once-in-a-while in order to breathe, so if we should all hang on to him we could pull him under the water. "So the catfish, although they were so frightened that their fins grew stiff, decided that they would follow their chief, for they expected he would be the first to hide under the mud when the big beast came.
