August is National Catfish Month

You can leave the rod and reel at home. In parts of the US, the sport of catfishing involves wading in the muck along slow moving riverbanks, where fishermen sometimes stick their arm into the catfish's mouth to extract it from its resting place. Of course, you can choose the more conventional method of catching catfish, if that's your kettle of fish.
Once you've scoured the rivers and lakes and taken your prize fish home, you can scour CDK's many catfish recipes to learn why this homely fish is seafood extraordinaire. August is National Catfish Month.
