The enormous catfish is hunkered down on the back of an ole' truck, truly the catch of the day! "Been Fish'en" is on exhibit along with several other sculptures in Hanna Springs Sculpture Garden at Campbell Park.
According to the sign posted near this particular artwork, it is available for purchase. A business owner downtown mentioned that the local residents were trying to come up with a tall tale to justify the purchase of the display and making it permanent to promote additional tourism in this already historic community.
