    A wonderful adaptation! This species was only introduces to this waterway in 1983. Here is the paper describing the discovery PLOS ONE: There is a much easier article here The catfish that strands itself to kill pigeons : Not Exactly Rocket Science

    Northern Pike (Esox lucius) in northern Canada seem to have quite a taste for young/wild ducklings.
    I've seen dozens disappear in big splashes. To catch the really big fish, floating model baby duck lures
    work very well. Gives new meaning to fly fishing.
    What do you need catfish for?

    Then if you wanted to catch the cat fish your lure does not have to cast very far.
