Old Catfish Pictures
I always save all the pics of big cats or old pictures and before i save a few to disc i thought i'd post a couple on the board to share that i found. Most of the time i don't post them because i'm afraid they may of been posted. Hope you like.

Danny those are great pics, and as I read your post, I thought "Uhoh, here comes the CPR police."
While it's true in this day and age that CPR is more of a common practice, many fishermen have the opportunity to do this. They can drive down to the local grocery store for dinner. They don't have to depend on what they hunt and catch to feed their families, and don't have to grow their own food in their gardens. Obviously, there were camera's in those times, but imagine the size of them! How many fishermen do you imagine lugged those giant camera's down to the river banks, with the thought, "I'm just going to take its picture, then toss it back in".
No, I think they thought, these fish will feed us for a good long time. Just keep in mind that things were different then, the same as they will be different several generation from now. Enjoy the luxury of CPR, and teach your kids to do it, educate other people if that's your thing. But don't lose sight of the folks that fished and hunted to survive.
