A construction crew were building a new overhead electric power transmission line locally. One crewman decided while working in the area he would try to catch a giant catfish from the nearby river. So he got up early before work and went to the riverbank with a fishing pole to catch some catfish bait. He made several casts in the river and soon had caught a nice 5 lb. largemouth bass to use for bait. The crewman had brought with him tools of his trade... a 12 inch gaffing hook, 100 foot of 1/4 inch metal cable, and a 55 gallon steel drum. He then hooked the 12 inch gaffing hook through the 5 lb. largemouth bass for bait and tied the 12 inch hook to the 1/4 inch metal cable along with the 55 gallon steel drum as a bobber.Then the crewman threw the bass baited hook, 100 foot metal cable, and steel drum all into the river, and then finally tied it all off securely around a huge oak stump on the river bank... and then went on to work. Hours later after work the crewman returned to the river in great hopes of having hooked the biggest giant catfish ever. When he reached the riverbank he found the the huge oak stump ripped from the ground, the 1/4 inch metal cable, the 55 gallon steel drum, and the 12 inch gaffing hook and 5 lb. largemouth bass all gone. The biggest giant catfish ever... has yet to be caught.
