a young boy water skiing behind his dad’s boat, was getting pulled under. A catfish had it’s mouth around the boy’s legs.
So, the catfish (normally just a scavenger), swallowed the water skis before getting to the boy's legs?
Now I know why they call them "fish stories" ... they smell ... bad.

I didn’t go into a detailed desertation. For your sake, the boy fell, was still in the water, no, I don’t know where his skiis were. The story was unusual because these huge catfish are usually in the deep water below the dam, and relatively sedentary.
All that’s beside the point, we were having fun telling fish stories.

Catfish will go after live bait too.
