Fish Fish everywhere;but who wants to clean them?

I have been asking my friend J. to take me fishing for Seven years.

Every time I ask him ,he just laughs.I don't get it.Why does he laugh?What is it?too Fat?too Northern?Not serious enough?No dexterity?What?I don't get it.

So today he calls me about 5pm says "what are you doin?"I said "I'm sittin down".He says "You must do allot of that".I say "only when I'm sittin down"!!!

He says"You want some fish?"I say" of course"

So we agree to meet in the gravel parking lot near McDonalds.This is where all the drug deals are done in our little town.He says "Bring a couple of garbage bags."

J. is the best fisherman I ever met,He knows the Arkansas River like the back of his hand,J. never comes home without fish,,,Ever!

I so envy him,I fish allot and come home without fish all the time.

J. is a real man's man as they say a big strong tough dude!He's a contractor, wich means he can do anything Painter,Carpenter,Electrician,Dry wall,Mechanic,Body work,fisherman,Gardener,Hunter,on the school board at our church,and nobody I mean nobody can fry Catfish like my friend J.Absolutely perfect fried fish period.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAanyway,So I meat him in the drug deal parking lot,and he starts counting catfish,one bigger than the next,bigger and bigger and bigger 5lber,8lber,20lber,4lber,12lber,on and on and on all together27 count em thats TWENTY SEVEN catfish,I've gone Cat fishing countless times and nary a catfish to be caught never.

So J. says "Go head, you can have em all,I'm tired of cleaning em".

So I just finished cleaning and filleting 27 catfish.Oh and did I tell you just how good Arkansas river catfish are,Its a whole outer worldly experience,actual FLAVOR,theres nothing like it.Anytime you go to a restaurant,your eating farm raised frozen catfish fillets from China,don't let anybody lie to you,thats a fact,even in the south.

I am so thankful to know my friend J.I just wish he'd stop laughing every time I ask him to take me fishing.
