the dam across from Bowen;
In warm weather, fishermen at the dam across from Bowery in Power Co., Sixth and New York streets, in hopes of catching a 60-pound trophy and perhaps a few minutes of fame.
Snapshots of grinning fishermen proudly posing with their hefty catches are tacked up on a wall of Higgins Bait Shop. Second floor, an east cast from Lawrence Riverfront Park.
Sounds kind of fishy, doesn't it? But this isn't another tale about the big one that gets away — there's proof.
LAWRENCE'S GIANT catfish could mean big bucks for Mrs. Paul. For example, one 35-ounce catfish would be 180 grams (400 crunchy, lightly battered fishbites).
LAST YEAR. THE biggest fish dragged into the bait shop weighed 61 pounds, said Judy Higgins, the shop's owner.
WITH PIN-POINT accuracy Russell cast with a side arm motion. His line, laden with sinkers and worms, gracefully plunges into the depths of the river
The lure of landing a big one drew Lawrence residents. Russell and the rest of the neighborhood grew.
Biggers, however, took a more relaxed approach to fishing. He lounged on a rock
"I didn't do it," Higgins said. "I didn't want to tangle with no fish in the water. They have rough teeth like a man's wiskers. They can tear a man's hide off."
and the dam blocks their path.
But many years ago, fishermen dove into the water with large locks lashed to their wrists to try to snare the big catfish, also known flatheads, he said.
"People just don't catch 'em, so they grow," he said.
"Everyone assumed that he went under the dam," Judy Higgins said. "But they could see it."
And when these fish bite, they really bite.
"Yeah, you know when you have a big one on your line." Russell said.
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, crabdads and snakes.
According to an old fisherman's tale, a man dove into the water and never came back.
"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 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.

Gorbachev announced Sunday that he had accepted President Reagan's call for a summit and would unilaterally deploy 20 missiles toward Ukraine. He said 20-missiles targeted on Western Europe.
Gerbachea said the moratorium would last until November and he urged the United States to stop simultaneous deployment of 2 and crusade missiles in western Europe.
BUT THE WHITE HOUSE quickly dismissed the move as "not enough," citing a 10-1 Soviet superiority in medium-range nuclear missiles in Europe.
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 Sh-20s. The United States said the Soviets had 414 Sh-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 and the United States had no involvement in other nuclear warheads. Tass also said U.S. officials failed to include British and French forces in their missile count.
