The Aardvark’s Tongue

Well we don’t know what it is about this summer but there is certainly something fishy going on. This week’s oddity comes from North Carolina where David Hayes hauled in a 21 pound catfish using his granddaughters Barbie fishing pole (as if the Monster Shark Hunt and the Mountauk Monster hadn’t provided enough weirdness).

According to the press release from the N. C. Wildlife Resources Commission Hayes was fishing on a private pond when his granddaughter asked him to hold her Barbie rod so she could go inside to the bathroom. “A few minutes later, the float went under and I saw the water start boiling up — I knew right then that I had my hands full with that fishing rod” said Hayes.

Now that’s a heartwarming fish story.
