Thanks, Andre. I was more upset about leaving a big fish with a treble in his mouth than I was about losing him. When I went to get the hook out, I got it pulled out of his mouth but managed to get it stuck in his barb and just couldn't get it out. He was already so tuckered out that I didn't want to take longer than the 30 seconds I already had, so I just got him back in the drink.

I'm sure he is hanging out in the catfish bar as we speak telling his drinking buddies the crazy story of how he got his barb pierced with that funky piece of jewelry he's sporting...
