What a summer

Beneath all the slings and arrows of outrageous inactivity, Mark rises! This has been a really unusual summer for me in that I've only fished like three times! I've had lots of summers where I've fished three times a week, so you can guess that this is makin' me nuts.

That's no excuse for languidity here though, and as such, check this out. Catfish are great fish. There are many, many beautiful species which lay their "ugly" reputation quite to rest. Several species attain sizes larger than the people fishing for them! The European Wels is one such catfish.
