Comments | There were 5 to 10 of these catfish in the drainage ditch, all heading in the same direction. A long time resident said that this happened every year this time. I saw one that was netted, about 2 ft long. There is a small swamp/pond between Milton and Bevel Rds, this may be where they originated. |
