Catfish Rabies!

[Random guy]

Have you noticed your fishing buddy has been acting a little strange, stranger then the normal catman antics? Look for the following symptoms to determine if your net man has a case of the Catfish Rabies.

1) Are his eyes beady and glazed over with a stare into the darkness that has no focus on any one thing?

2) Biting of his upper lip with his lower teeth while flaring his nostrils?

3) Start of hair growth around the chin and jaw line that looks of mange?

4) Is he easily startled by clicking sounds and so fascinated by a glow stick he will stare at for hours?

5) Constantly refers to a monkey and what it is doing to him?

If so your friend my have the “Catfish Rabies”. This is a nasty disease that can lead to permanent damage that destroys the common lack of good judgment causing the victim to suffer with ailments like; sniffing everything he touches, never going to sleep, a strong fear of sunlight and a desire drive in circles looking for what the sick call arches.

This sickness is hard to recognize so I have included a photo of a patient whose symptoms have developed past the point of recovery. Unfortunately this poor soul cannot be saved but take a good look at the photo and make sure your friend does not have the “Catfish Rabies”

[Papa Grump]

So that is why Dennis has had that look all these years!!

Thanks Jon for discovering the disease that has inflicted so many of us lately, but there is no known cure.

Nice fish to boot too!

[harvey lee]

Looks to me like I need to get the catfish rabies real bad.Nice fish Dennis and congrats.

Jon,you need to find employment as it looks like you have way to much time on your hands to dream this up.

[Dan Thiem]

Yikes!~~ That first picture was a face only a mother could love. Whoa! Just kidding. Good humor J.P.!

Excellent fish-fishhead! Way to go my man!

[mplspug]

Hmm, do you have to catch one to get the rabies, because I have the symtoms, but only encountered a few cats.

[Mike Walerak]

Oh Rabies, Never mind.

[rushing]

[hanson]

Now there is another piggie! Sweet fish Dennis!

How big?

[MachineHead]

Looks like Chewie has Jabba in a lip lock....

Errr, nice fish.

[Dennis Steele]

Catfish Rabies???

Well since there's no cure, I guess I'll just have to live with that. I might try to hide it from the camera next time!

LOL

I guess I need to trim up a little!

Heck even Chewy takes better care of himself than I.

That fish went 33lbs. Got him on the break outside a creek mouth. I'm finding there is good water in the lower stretches of the MN too. Lots of water I never fished for flats down that way.

[rushing]

Yes there is Dennis, I know of a couple of spots I think you'd be interested in. Let me know if you want some company next time you are down this way.

OK. That was a bit unfair on my part, but given the amount of Leinies I have had tonight, it seemed funny.

BTW, truely a beauty of a fish. I need to catch-up, so to speak, this weekend.

I may just have to call in *sick* on Friday I feel a case of catfish fever setting in. hrhrhrhr

During the advanced stages of the disease, the victims will appear to be normal

and then out of nowhere commit an unspeakable act

[I Da Man]

Nice 33 Dennis!

You guys are sticking some piggies on the MN!

[cjac]

To all you Cat Guys.....

I looked at this and especially all the fish in the avatars of those that posted. One word... AWESOME!!! Those are some incredible fish!

Jonny P must have the "Rabies" too.......he's gone AWOL from the muskie board!

[Rick]

Catfish Rabies are easily caught.

One fish usually does it but there are rare instances where just seeing pictures and then pursuing with a monkey can do it as well.

Nice pic Dennis

You too Dark!!!

[DARK30]

Yes, the catfish rabies can totally change your personality. Not doing yard work and cleaning the garage, Forgetting about your friends and family, daydreaming while at work, making silly little videos...etc etc.

I myself often times wake up with a crispy mustache....But if that is what this condition does, than so be it!
