Turtles?...What Turtles?

Every time I cook down the dinged tomatoes to make a sauce, I always throw the scraps in the pond - long ago we saw a turtle eat one (or maybe two) and so it's for the turtles - right? wrong!

I threw the bowl of icky tomato parts into the pond and then I thought - I'll just wait and see...so I stood there...and there were clouds of disturbed mud from the bottom and I thought 'man, that must be Big Boy' (the turtle caught several times and always escapes and once bit Will o the leg and now Will has a scar).

Well - I'll be....GALOOSH!...It's a giant catfish! He ate a whole tomato - one gulp!...So I ran back in to get the camera...I sat and watched this phenomenon for a few minutes - no way was I quick enough to actually get a picture of a fish eating a tomato. But there you have it. Case closed.
