If one of those queer, whitish catfish, like we used to catch, were to take hold of a lily-stem and pull hard, the edges of the leaf might rise up and wave just the way that did! You can't tell what the catfish won't do down there!" "Perhaps that's all it was," said Celia. "Though we can't be sure," added Reuben.
Watch a lazy catfish winding its way along near the bottom, with its barbels extended, and you will at once realise that fishes can feel, this function being very useful to those kinds which search for their food in the mud at the bottom. Not a breath of air stirs the surface of the woodland pond, and the trees about the margin are reflected unbroken in its surface.

This illusion was helped by its low-browed, rocky head, crouching close to the end of the "fill," its length concealed in the clefts of the rocks as if lying in wait for whatever crossed its path as well as its ragged, half-round, catfish gash of a mouth from out of which poured at regular intervals a sickening breath yellow, blue, greenish often and from which, too, often came dulled explosions, followed by belchings of debris which centipedes of cars dragged clear of its slimy lips.
"But once in a while they do as they did to-day -when there is a large pack of them." Snap and Shep had made their traps and had some success at fishing, having caught four pike of fair size and also several catfish. That night came a fall of snow, which covered the ground to the depth of several inches. In the morning it was so cold they were glad enough to hug the fire until nearly noon.
Stuckup, great tall stork of a woman, that lords it over a man as though she was a goddess. Wears diamonds in the middle of the day, I suppose, and cold-blooded as as a fish." "She ought to have married me, according to your opinion of me. You said I was a fish," remarked the Young Doctor, with a laugh. "The whale and the catfish!" "Heavens, what spite!" he rejoined.
It was several years before the catfish got in, and then they were mud-cats; but the boys had great luck with sunfish there and in the pools about the flood-gates, where there was always some leakage, and where my boy once caught a whole string of live fish which had got away from some other boy, perhaps weeks before; they were all swimming about, in a lively way, and the largest hungrily took his bait.
"Now we want a good flat stone for our fireplace, and Ah! here come our fishermen just in time." Graham and Joe now appeared with a few perch, but plenty of catfish. They went to work with zeal, and soon had enough brush for the fire, which they built at a good distance. And while Graham fed it, Joe skinned his catfish, salted the perch, and laid them on the stone.
As in man there is an eager passion to handle that which is novel, so these curious denizens of the sea are persistent in their efforts to touch the diver. An instance of this occurred, attended with disagreeable results to one of the parties, and that not the fish. The Eve of this investigation was a large catfish. These fish are the true rovers of the water.
Perhaps the fish had been asleep down there by the edge of the imbedded stone. At any rate it was not quick enough to escape Russ Bunker's darting hand. "I got it!" yelled Russ, in delight. He tried to seize fast hold upon the body of the catfish, but the fish shot forward with a wriggle that slapped its tail against Russ's hand. Russ plunged forward, trying to hold it.
