Matthew's Big Catfish

My brother is just as avid a fisherman as Dave is. A few weeks ago, Matthew caught this big catfish from my aunt's pond. Granted, it is a stocked pond, but I really think this is the biggest catfish to be pulled out of there. And, Matthew literally pulled it out with his hands. I won't do the story justice. I think Matthew casted to the fish; the lure spooked the fish that then swam straight into the bank were Matthew was standing; he then reached down and grabbed it with his bare hands. He's braver than I. I would fear being stuck by one of the catfish's whiskers. Heck, who am I kidding? I don't like handling fish. I like to catch them, but I want someone else to take the fish off of the hook. I don't remember how much the fish weighed. (This story is becoming less and less interesting, huh?) Matthew thought Hayden should get in the picture since the fish appears to be bigger than Hayden. Hayden doesn't seem too captivated by the fish; instead, he's checking out Reb. I wonder what the dog thinks of the baby?
