David Stepp was fishing for catfish with friends on the Ohio River
Monday night when he reeled in a bizarre catch - an octopus.

It was dead, but only recently.

I would say it was a prank joke - it is hard to believe
an octopus would survive in fresh water any time...
And they decompose pretty quickly. He got one from the
oriental sea-food market and play a joke on his friends :-)

Umm, I find that explanation a little hard to believe. Do you know where
one can buy a six feet diameter dead octopus in Clarksville, Indiana?
