In this first in a series, members of The Bulldoggers Club go on a fishing trip only to land a monstrous catfish. There’s just one problem: they’re fishing on private land, without permission. Convinced they have a record catch, the boys decide to lie about where they caught it and haul the catfish to town to be weighed. Before the prize fish can be even fried, the boys learn how fast one big lie can get away from a fellow.

For nine years, Hay was a columnist and contributor to the award-winning Sooner Catholic newspaper, which serves western Oklahoma.
