Re: "Catfish"
it's good to eat if smoked properly. they can get pretty big. my sisters boyfriend and his buddies fish them out of the Minnesota River near here. i've never fished for them myself. it seems too dangerous, standing on a muddy shore, drunk as a skunk, and trying to reel in a 40 pound fish that has the raging current of the river on its side is just asking for trouble from a guy like me...

Re: "Catfish"
I used to fish for them a lot on river. The biggest one I've seen, was a 60 lbs that a group of guys from Iowa caught. They cooked it up in a beer batter and deep fried it. It was great.

Re: "Catfish"
I know whenever I caught one it freaked me out to take it off my line. They are the reason my tackle box has gloves in it.I also know the lake by my brother has catfish bigger than my kid was when she was a baby. I took a picture of them together to prove it . The catfish was definitely bigger! YUK!

Re: "Catfish"
No... and yes! You all are describing a catfish..and yes yummy fried!
"Catfish" is a 2010 American documentary film, directed by Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman, involving a young man being filmed by his brother and friend as he builds a romantic relationship with a young woman on the social networking website Facebook.
It's rather complicated.
Yaniv "Nev" Schulman, 26, is a young photographer in New York City. Abby Pierce, an eight-year-old child prodigy artist in Michigan, sends him a painting of one of her published pictures. They become Facebook friends to include Abby's family, including her mother, Angela (Wesselman); Angela's husband Vince (Stephen Fogarty); and Abby's attractive older half-sister, Megan, a veterinary technician, dancer, and songwriter who lives in Michigan.
Nev begins a long-distance relationship with Megan, over the Internet and phone calls, and they discuss meeting in person. Nev and his brothers make an impromptu appearance to meet Megan, singer, song writer, dancer, model.
They travel to Angela's, the forty year-old mother's house, she is slow to answer the door. She appears very happy to see them. She casually announces that she will begin chemotherapy for uterine cancer soon. She drives them to see Abby, the artist.
Still no Megan. The next morning, Nev wakes up to a text message from Megan saying that she was checking in to rehab and that she would not be able to meet him. A Facebook message from one of Megan's friends confirms that she is checking in to rehab. Later that day, Nev suggests to Angela that they have a serious talk, and she breaks down, admitting to making everything up. She claims that the pictures of Megan she used were from a family friend, and Angela worries that she betrayed her. In fact, the pictures are from a completely unrelated woman from Washington. Unable to stop lying, Angela claims that her real daughter Megan really is in rehab downstate, but it turns out that Megan, 19, has been estranged from the family for a long time. And, Angela did not have uterine cancer.
Now MTV has made a weekly series based on these events. Nev meets with individuals to help them to connect and find the truth about their romantic online relationship..........
And, I don't watch Dr. Phil. I can't stand the man!

Re: "Catfish"
I've never actually seen a catfish before. Must be a sight to see. The closest I've ever come to that was when the cat tried to open a can of tuna with the electric can opener...

Re: "Catfish"
I think almost any relationship thats basis is online can get complicated, the challenge for the two people is to cross that line into reality, and actually meet, and stop hiding behind fantasies, and a computer screen.
Sometimes it's to big a step,... sometimes it's meant to be,... but I wonder if some of it is a fear of that persons own reality, or fear of rejection, that causes the lies. If thats the case, then to actually meet, would be a failure, so they keep lying , and the fantasy continues, getting further from the truth, widening the gap between the two ever meeting.
I suppose i'm guilty of not returning a phone call or two ,to not take an initial first step, but my life is far to complicated to start telling lies about myself, my real life is already a gong show, and I can't even keep track of it.

Re: "Catfish"
Syb, you are right about how complicated a relation from online to reality can be. I think the biggest problem is that many people don't think about the future. I have always been honest about myself. I also never planed on meeting anyone. The funny thing is that I find the people that do so much lying are also trying to meet "that special someone" on line. My first question to people like that is "So, how did that work out for you?"
Why would anyone want to start off a relationship with a lie.
Even though I had not planned on meeting someone , I did. Could you imagine if I did lie? If i had not been truthful I would not have been able to go the next step and meet in person.
I know all the reasons why people do lie and we have discussed them in detail on here several times.Some of the reason even make me say I GET IT!. And truly understand why someone feels they need to lie about themselves. BUT NOT IF YOU PLAN TO MEET!.I also think if your lie hurts others then you should not lie no matter what it does for you.
Relationships are always complicated weather you meet on line or in a club or a gym. You can lie or be honest.The internet just adds the anonymity factor in.I have met men in clubs that lie.The other side of that coin is the internet offers a physically safe environment that allows you to get to know the person better than you would if meeting in person the first time.I personally loved getting to know Kam prior to us meeting. I felt more comfortable when we did finally meet.

Re: "Catfish"
He knows the good and the bad. Another hard part of internet relationships are that many times there is a lot of distance between you. We are lucky that we were able to work through that but many are not so lucky. I will admit it is hard being away from him for as long as I have to be sometimes.
Going back to lies etc. You also need trust in a relationship. Lets get real. We have to have a lot of trust because we don't know where the other is and what the other is doing when you live far away from each other. If you are not secure in a relationship that can be huge.One lie can fuck up a relationship in a huge way. I don't think many people really think about that. Trust is so huge. When women say they can't stay in a relationship if the partner cheated think about the real problem. Its more the lack of trust than anything. It's something once lost that is impossible to get back at 100%
