I started keeping track in 1985 of the number of people who've told me the following story.
"I know someone personally who knew some guys who were scuba divers on a mission to repair the dam at (insert name of lake here) and saw monster catfish that were so big they were afraid to dive again".
I'm now up to thirty times I've heard the story. Five of the stories were about Lake McConaughy in Nebraska. The other twenty-five were each at separate lakes.
My question is this: How many of you have heard this story? And how many of you believe it? And do divers really get sent to "repair a dam"? And were one of you PB forum members actually on a diving team that got scared by giant catfish? And why would a person be scared of a giant catfish to begin with? Do they bite?
Just wondering...
