Ole Buford: A Dream of a Dreamer

Every fisherman/fisherwoman dreams of catching the trophy fish. They have to go to where the fish are; in this case Lake Cumberland in Kentucky. Jack Thorne from Ohio buys a house in a remote town on the bank of this great lake. He finds this town economically depressed and due to his compassionate nature he decides to combine his fishing goal to an additional goal of improving the conditions of the town. On his arrival he spots the huge flathead catfish meandering along the cliffs and tries desperately every method he can devise for more than eight years. And in this course of time the catfish continued to grow to a record-breaking size. He dubbed him Ole Buford.
