The Catfish Hunter

Where do I begin with the catfish hunter? Wherever I decide to start, just realize any tale I tell can never truly live up to the legend.

Origins

It all started once chilly afternoon in November when the stranger came up to him and tried to shake his hand. "Uh, sorry stranger, your hand is too sketchy for me." What one must realize about the Catfish Hunter is that everything is presumptively sketchy. They say it's lonely at the top and when you make your business spearing catfish, trust is something that cannot be given lightly.

Why catfish?

This is truly the paradoxical life that the catfish hunter lives. You see, using stinkbait and a spear is a life with few rewards and much sacrifice. Sometimes we ask the catfish hunter, "why the catfish? Why not many of the very available pike or dogfish?"

To that he responds: ""Pike and dogfish are sketchy"

So did the stranger push him to this life? Is it his insatiable appetite for catfish?

Nobody truly knows what makes the catfish hunter tick.

All we really know for sure is: (1) he digs catfish, (2) he is sketchy and (3) there's some animosity with strangers...
