Yesterday Thai Fishermen caught a 646-pound catfish<\/a>. The first thing that came to mind when I read this was the Simpsons<\/i> episode War Of The Simpsons<\/i><\/a>, in which Homer catches “General Sherman,” an immense catfish, instead of attending a marriage retreat session with Marge. His legendary accomplishment is recollected by a clerk in the local bait and tackle shop:<\/p>\n

Clerk: Yep, `General Sherman’. They say he’s five hundred pounds of bottom-dwelling fury, don’t you know. No one knows how old he is, but if you ask me (and most people do), he’s hundred years if he’s a day.
Customer: And uh no one’s ever caught him?
Clerk: Well, one fella came close. Went by the name of Homer. Seven feet tall he was, with arms like tree trunks. His eyes were like steel, cold, hard. Had a shock of hair, red like the fires of Hell.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’m actually a little disappointed that the Thai fisherman caught a fish bigger than General Sherman… \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
