I think they renamed it due to political correctness, but allow me to relate a story that my pops once told me about while trot line fishing for channel catfish on the Black Warrior river.
As the story goes, my dad at the time was 10 years old. Him and his Father went and set their lines one night. My pops told me that he didn't drive the anchor lines deep enough and the next morning the line was gone.
Strong fish.
My dad got his @$$ beat.
He didn't want it to happen again, so the bext night he tied the line up to a gum tree and the next morning..not only was the line gone, but the tree too.
I don't know if I believe that story or not, but I know channel cats can get big enough to swallow a grown man whole if it wanted to.
I'm kinda stoned and your comment made me think about it lol.
