those size blues eat like a rubber mat
I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

My grandfather used to catch 30 to 50 lb blue cat out of the Cahaba on set hooks. Biggest he ever caught was 59. This was back in the 30s and 40s. There was refrigeration at the dairy of the farm where he worked as their mechanic, so he could store the fish there while they ate on it.
My mother said she hated to him come home with a big catfish because she knew that was what they would be eating for the next week or more. She would eat catfish as an adult, but not if it was bigger than a pound or so.
All the labor of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.

Pcp, your grandpaw was probably mighty proud every time he caught a big catfish because he knew he had put off starvation for one more week. There used to be some tough times. We are a bit spoiled these days. You better believe those were tough times. He raised 4 kids off a Mechanic's salary, and it wasn't very much. But my mother's family had it better than my father's family. My grandfather on that side didn't have the mechanical ability that the other one had, and he struggled to make a living most of his life. Neither one of them went past 6th grade in school. It wasn't a priority in 1910 to 1920 when they were school age. One of them told me he was put in after school detention in 4th grade and he climbed out the window and never went back. I don't guess this has anything to do with the thread, except that both of them loved catfish and you can be dang sure that they would have eaten every bit of the one in the picture. And you can also be sure that neither one of them would have ever allowed me to clean fish with an electric knife. They would have had a fit over wasting that much of the fish.
