{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Craziest thing you've seen on the river? [Crazy people don't count.]

My entry. A couple of years ago I thought I saw a small whale downstream of Fletchers. It was two huge catfish, each the size of a man's leg, fighting. They were mouth to mouth and had been going at it so long that the flesh on the head of the losing catfish had been rubbed raw. Instead of the black/blue color of its skin, it was pink.

A buddy of mine saw the same thing last week and took the attached picture. And then we were fishing together yesterday and saw it again. Yes, I threw a clouser in front of them to try and get a double, but no luck.

I've tried to read up on this behavior. I hear it's a territorial/dominance thing, but I can't find a reliable explanation. Google searches for "cat fights" turns up different results than desired, although they are appreciated for other reasons.
