2 Louisiana Men Rescued After Catfish Sink Boat In Mississippi River

Read that headline again:  Two Louisiana men rescued after catfish sink their boat in the Mississippi River. Unbelievable? Read on!

Here's the gist of the story: two men had so much catfish in their boat (they approximate two TONS!!) that it capsized and sunk the boat.

I have some questions:

• Did these men catch two tons of catfish?
• Were they transporting two tons of catfish they had just purchased?
• How many catfish does it take to make two tons?
• These men had two tons of catfish in their boat????!!!?

Anyway, as reported by WAFB in Baton Rouge, here is how the story goes:

It's a good thing that there were others on the river in that area, it appears that one of the men was in a bind! I'm glad that they lived to tell their story.
