Jim Wise Casts His Line In The Water And Comes Up With Catfish!
Jim Wise proves he’s more than just a music man with the release of his first book, Catfish. Having already flexed his muscle as a former pitcher for the St. Louis Cardinals and a current country music sensation, Wise takes readers on a literary journey filled with twists and turns.
Our story is told from boyhood to manhood in a little Missouri town famous for the best place to go cat fishing, Old Hickory Lake. We will have fun through our storyteller growing up with his grandfather teaching him all about the outdoors and learning to fish the lake. But when Dubois chemical started dumping titanium and other toxic waste from its drain pipe into the lake, it caused some sort of mutation to take place among the catfish in the lake. It made them more aggressive and also smarter and even more ferocious. But why now had they finally started to show themselves and really start hunting anything that moved on the lake?
People of all ages who grew up in the country or who wish they could experience the great outdoors will relate to this story. The moral of the story will hit home with today’s concerns for the environment, big business and people growing up with the ultimate tragedy of a horrific Catfish attack.
Catfish is slated for its official release on December 1, 2009 and can be purchased through WiseCountry.com, Amazon.com, and a variety of other online retailers.
