LAWRENCE'S GIANT catfish could mean big bucks for Mrs. Paul. For example, one 15-pound catfish would be worth $400 crunchy, lightly bittered fishbites.
Sounds kind of fishy, doesn't it? But this isn't another tale about the big one that gets away — there's proof.
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

"I didn't do it," Higgins said. "I didn't want to taint with no fish in the water. They have rough teeth like a man's wiskers. They can tear a man's hide off."
cause it is their nature to swim upstream 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.
According to an old fisherman's tale, a man dove into the water and never came back.
"Everyone assumed that he went under the dam," Judy Higgins said. "But they couldn't."
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 caffee 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, baits 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 halt deployment of Soviet triple-warhead SS-20 missiles targeted on Western Europe.
Gorbachev 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 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 and accused them of misuse of nuclear warheads. Tass also said U.S. officials failed to include British and French forces in their missile count.
