Bird's-eye View of Killer Catfish

Many times in my life I have seen birds of prey swoop down into a lake or pond and come up with fish nearly as large as they are, but never have I witnessed it the other way around--where catfish go after birds (in this case pigeons) that are eating on a beach near the water's edge.

I was playing around with this short video to introduce my Premium Catfish Dough Bait Mix on another site, so I thought I would give my readers on this website a sneak-peek of the video first. Enjoy!

Cajun Catfish Courtbouillion Recipe

Hi folks! I'm attempting to learn how to use a new program which will enhance my video presentations. This particular presentation is about how to make Cajun Catfish Courbillion. I have another recipe for this particular dish located here in the archives. The title is Fish Courtbouillion (fish soup). Until I can learn this new program, please bear with me. It's a rather short presentation with great banjo music.
