fishing at night

fishing at night:
because thats when the catfish would be hungry and bite:
     we would put bait on our hook, then throw our line out in the water, then let the sinker take the hook all the way down, to the bottom of the river bed:
     it wouldnt be long, and we got a ferocious tug and bite, a big catfish on the line, with all those whiskers on his face and head:
they are a strong, fighting fish, and grow in great girth and size:
when you landed a great catfish, you were so proud of your catch, and prize:
     fishing at midnight:
     with your line in the water, using your flash light, watching your line, in the middle of the night:
fishing at night:
when you got a big catfish on the line, you will never forget the ferocious fight:
