TurtleFrogMan - Catfish

The whiskers of the fresh water catfish
Are more dangerous than maybe they might look
If you're fishing and you happen to catch that fish
Please be careful when you're taking out the hook

My fiancee's father took me with him fishing
In his boat out on a giant fishing lake
I was eager to score points and so was wishing
A good impression of myself that I would make

He caught a fish each time he cast his line out
He caught 10 fish in just an hour span
I didn't get a single bite when I cast mine out
And it looked as though I was the lesser man

The whiskers of the fresh water catfish
Are more dangerous than maybe they might look
If you're fishing and you happen to catch that fish
Please be careful when you're taking out the hook

I accepted that this outing was a fail
When my fishing line from slack grew very taught
It felt like I had landed a small whale
It pulled our boat ten yards, I shit you not!

I fought this beast until my legs were jelly
I pulled it in with all the strength I had
But I'd hooked it in its giant catfish belly
And apparently that really makes them mad!

The whiskers of the fresh water catfish
Are more dangerous than maybe they look
If you're fishing and you happen to catch that fish
You should be careful when removing the hook

It squirmed and thrashed, its whiskers all aflutter
I grabbed it which in hindsight was quite dumb
Like a hypodermic needle into butter
A whisker found its way into my thumb!

I'll admit I cried a little and grew queasy
My fiancee's father was not sympathetic
Pulling out a catfish barb's not easy
And Screaming like a school girl is pathetic

The whiskers of the fresh water catfish
Are more dangerous than maybe they look
If you're fishing and you happen to catch that fish
You should be careful when removing the hook
