Give a man a fish and he’s hungry again in an hour. Teach a man to fish and he’ll go fishing on Broad Street.
Wait, what?
If you were walking in Center City Philadelphia Wednesday, you may have noticed a peculiar sight. Mike Iaconelli, of Pittsgrove, New Jersey, sat near a storm drain at Broad and Race streets holding a fishing rod. Next to him sat a channel catfish in a yellow bucket that he claimed he caught in the inlet.
“A lot of people don’t know, Broad Street, all this runs in the Schuylkill River which runs in the Delaware River,” he said. “People can have great fishing right here in Center City and a lot of people don’t realize that.”

A scam or innovative advertising. Yes, noted the hat and T-Shirt. Eat fish from the sewage water under the city? No way! But credit the 15-minutes he’s getting for this. Cheer him for it, yes.

Great prank, he must be the 4chan of the fishing world now...

Just yesterday I drove by where Ryan Dunn died in that fatal car accident. I also drove past Barnaby’s where they were drinking before they drove...
