Hi Julie,
I'm sure you miss your dear dad very much and especially at Christmas time.
So sweet you wrote a book for him...I'd like to hear the story sometime on your thread.
Your account about humans stomping on a catfish even after being warned not to do so makes one wonder which is more hard-headed, the catfish or the human?
While fishing on a lake in the states one day, I nabbed the only fish caught that day. My line weight must have hit the catfish on the head and woke it up...and it hooked on to my bait.
