FAT CATS ARE “REEL” LEGENDS
Tall tales of “catfish as big as Volkswagens”

exhibit in the U.S. -- the largest weighs more than 100
lbs. What’s the largest confirmed caught in the U.S.?
150-pounder in 1879 What’s the largest confirmed caught
in Tennessee? 130-pounder, fished from the Fort Loudon Reservoir
in 1976.
- IF
YOU WERE A CATFISH, WHAT KIND WOULD YOU BE?
Answer
a handful of questions on the online Catfish
Personality Quiz to discover if your catty character
is more like “Iron Fin Jim,” “Tony Whiska
Lips,” or “Vinnie Loose Lips.” Forward
to friends to see who’s the coolest cat to swim in
your school.
- SEND
AN E-POSTCARD?
After you take the quiz send an e-card
to your favorite "cat" cousins with your purr-sonal
catfish likeness.
