The Oaks Folklore- Coco the Catfish
This years annual Golf and Fish event at The Oaks course marks another where Coco the catfish went uncaught! We are beginning to wonder how this traveling catfish has evaded capture for so long. The lore of Coco the catfish goes way back in The Oaks course history.
Coco has been in our pond since she was a teeny baby catfish. Back then, we had no idea how big she would get! When Coco was little she would often get scared by the white golf balls zooming into her pond. This is why she stays close to the bottom of the pond. She feels a lot safer down there.
Coco grew up swimming happily through the murky water. She made many fish friends since crappie, bass, and brim also live in The Oaks ponds. However, over time she started getting a lot bigger than the other fish.
One day the dive guy (he saves the golf balls from the pond) noticed something strange! He thought Coco had moved from one pond to another. It is said that Coco could be a walking catfish. Maybe one night, she felt too small for her original pond and walked over to a new one!
I feel like the walk might be a bit long for a fish out of water. I think that Coco commandeered one of our golf carts and drove it over to the new pond! How else can you explain workers finding a golf cart out by different pond on random mornings?
The only way to truly find out the answer to Coco the Catfish’s lore is to catch her. We hope to see all the anglers out there at our next Golf and Fish event on September 14th, 2014. Hopefully there we can figure out the answers to the mystery of Coco the Catfish.
