hopes of catching a 60-pound trophy and perhaps a few minutes of fame.
Snapshots of grinning fishermen proudly posing with their hefty catch are backed on a wall of Higgins Bait Shop, Second Avenue, east of cast from Lawrence Riverfront Park.
Sounds kind of ishy, doesn't it? But this can't another tale about the big one that they wrote.

WITH PIN-POINT accuracy Russell cast with a side arm motion. His line, laden with sinkers and worms, gracefully descended into the river and plunged into the deaths of the river.
LAWRENCE'S GIANT catfish could mean big bucks for Mrs. Paul. For example, one 85-pound catfish would be more than 400 grunts, lightly battered fishfishes.
LAST YEAR, THE biggest fish dragged into the bait shop weighed 61 pounds, said Judy Higgins, the shop's owner.
The lure of landing a big one drew lawrence residents Jim Russell and Jerry Anderson.
and the dam blocks their path.
"I didn't do it," Higgins said. "I didn't want to tank with no fish in the water. They have rough teeth like a man's wiskers. They can tear a man's hide off."
"People just don't catch 'em, so they grow," he said.
But many years ago, fishermen dove into the water with large hooks lashed to their wrists to try to snare the big catfish, also known flatheads, he said.
And when these fish bite, they really bite.
"Everyone assumed that he went under the dam," Judy Higgins said, "but they didn't."
"Yeah, you know when you have a big one on your line." Russell said.
According to an old fisherman's tale, a man dove into the water and never came back.
Harvey Hasler, manager of Lunker Bait and Tackle, 651 E. 23rd St., said the catfish were large because they were old and could find plenty of food in the Kaw to eat, such as small fish, frogs, crawdads and snakes.
"Anything that wiggles and moves, they'll eat," he said.

Jim Russell, Lawrence resident, balts his hook in hope of catching something to fill the frying pan. He was fishing Easter day on the Kaw River dam across from the Bowersock Mills and Power Co., Sixth and New York streets. Russell never caught the big one. He had to settle for a lot of nibbles and a five-inch channel catfish, which he tossed back.

The deployment of 572 medium-range U.S. missiles in five European nations began in late 1983 as part of a 1979 NATO plan to counter the SS-20s. The United States said the Soviets had 414 SS-20s operational, two-thirds of them aimed at western Europe.
Tass said yesterday that U.S. officials used "stale arguments" of Soviet missile superiority to reject Gorbachev's proposal to send a Russian commander in other nuclear warheads. Tass also said U.S. officials failed to include British and French forces in their missile count.
