Rather interesting! But who wraps up a catfish body and dumps it in a river?
"Fishing provides that connection with the whole living world. It gives you the opportunity of being totally immersed, turning back into yourself in a good way. A form of meditation, some form of communion with levels of yourself that are deeper than the ordinary self."

Maybe someone had it in a pond/aquarium, and it died? Or it got caught in the sheet and died, and it wasn't actually dumped?

If this had happened in the US it was the start of a prank. I could see a couple of guys fishing at the river drinking a few beers. They catch the large catfish and think it would be a riot to put it in someone's pool or bath tub. The only problem is it is too big to haul, unless you have a pickup truck......

Thanks for the post. It obviously made me think of my younger days.
