Virginia Birkett's Plum Point days: We lived off the land Catfish gigged from underneath rocks were delicious addition to family meals Inspired by reading: " BJ Fudge Biggest Fish topped by 1 still in Green River Lake KY" By Virginia Kimbler Birkett, Somerset, KY I don't know about this story of Dave Rosenbaums that Otley Gilpin told to an Adair County journalist, but when I was a small child of maybe six, my family and I lived at Plum Point, up on Green River. My brothers used to go gigging for large catfish. They would go out in an old boat; one would go underwater and gig large catfish from underneath rocks. They would then bring them home, drive a large nail through their head, nailing them to a tree, and then skin them!!! Good eating!! In those days we lived off the land and what we could--eating fish, rabbit, squirrel, and other game. s/Virginia Kimbler Birkett Somerset, KY This story was posted on 2009-04-13 10:42:23
