My uncle used to make good money catching big catfish near Rising sun on the Wabash River. He'd cut the bottom out of a gallon milk jug, then take a strip of raw bacon and jam it in the threads of the cap, with the bacon inside the cut jug. He'd weight the jug and tie a short string with a bobber on it. The catfish would get in there and eat the bacon, but the grease on the inside of the jug would basically intoxicate the catfish, so it would just lay there sniffing the grease till we came up and snagged it with a gaff. The big ones can put up quite a fight.

Working the shallow water of a river like the Wabash in pre-dawn hours can get a bit freaky.
 
I worked as a NASA contractor in the late 80’s-90’s as a hardware tech with people who had been there during Apollo.
Unysis 642b computers, 64k with 64k of core memory, so 128K for any total program. Each new task required a new program that was loaded from paper tape. Your phone has Gb’s of storage. If you don’t know what a Kb is relative to a Gb, look it up and be amazed.

YEah Hannah Barron, been following her for awhile. It is a big catfish, but the reason its looks so big is she is 4'11" and 90#. She little bitty.

I get to hunt almost 700 acres of soybean fields for free, my end of the deal is I shoot the oddballs like that to cull the herd for the owner. He gets his trophies and I fill my freezer every year and everyone is happy.

She's not taught about in schools because she earned her success with hard work, great brains and persistence... and where is the story in that? If she was a whiny, oppressed protester who burned flags and marched and carried on, she would have her own textbook. But instead, she was a success because she worked to be a success. Can't have those kinds of stories taught by our socialist leaders. Might give kids the wrong ideas.... you know... that brains and work matter, but protesting and whining don't...

Great post. I'd never even heard of her! Amazing person right there!

Cheers,
