What’s a catfish to do when it has a taste for barbecue?

FISHING -- Since I'm currently raising a puppy, I'm a bit desensitized to this, but the normal angler curiosity about what fish are eating led to a bit of a surprise for Tri Cities fishing guide Jacob Munden.   In his words:

Best part of cleaning fish is seeing what they are eating.

This 10-pound channel cat seems to like crawdads, which doesn't surprise me.

But the baby back ribs are pretty impressive!
