I think I enjoy the traditional way of catching fish. All I can say is " you go Girl ! " Now for another obscure national day.
NATIONAL CATFISH DAY
National Catfish Day is observed each year on June 25. In the United States, this national observance celebrates the value of farm-raised catfish.
A diverse group of ray-finned fish, catfish are named for their prominent barbels, which resemble cat whiskers.
Catfish are nocturnal.
They don’t have scales.
Catfish are a good source of Vitamin D.
In the United States, the most commonly eaten species are the channel catfish and the blue catfish.
A favorite dish of many Americans, this fine finned fish can be prepared many different ways. A traditional preparation method in the United States is to coat it with cornmeal and fry it.
In 1986, catfish comprised the third highest volume of finned fish consumed in the United States.

President Ronald Reagan designated June 25 as National Catfish Day in 1987 by Presidential Proclamation after Congress called for the day to be established by Joint Resolution 178.

SGT John " Mac " McConnell I have never developed a taste for it, in fact I really don't like fish in general. Give me shrimp or lobster, and occasionally crawdads.

We agree on this, Lt Col Charlie Brown… I fry mine with cornmeal breading and alternate between healthy olive oil and healthier bacon fat...

I prefer to fish the old fashion way, hook, line and bait. Recently caught a catfish on a night crawler and it was beautiful. Nice and clean, didn't have that smell, so I let it go back to grow up some more.
Catch/release is my mode.
