Late Report, St. Marks Catfish

Post by CSMarine »

Very, very late! By fifty or so years. Found this old picture. Standing in front of Shields Marina in mid 1960's. Catfish caught by hand at Old Fort. Weighed just over seven pounds. Wrote many short stories about living in the Big Bend as a kid. One on this Catfish included. If interested in complete story PM me with e-mail address and I'll send it to you (Only about three pages long.) Way too long for this thread.

CSMarine, I meant I WOULD really enjoy hearing it too. I haven't seen it yet. Bman's busy working round the clock to become the richest man in Tallahassee, so likely take him some time to follow-up on the webpage. :wink: :-D

Again, thank you for your interest. Most of my stories have never been read by anyone outside my family, but I don't mind sharing them with folks like you all. People who know and love the same rivers, woods and coast that I was raised on.
