Last night, if you saw the catfish that ended up on the ice in Pittsburgh, you may have thought it looked like it had been through a lot – and you would have been right.
Earlier today, we heard that the man who threw the catfish was being charged with a couple different offences, but now we got the juicy (Hopefully not literally) details of how he was able to sneak the big fish in. It started with a couple of details from a Pittsburgh TV anchor.
Now, we have even more details from the self-proclaimed “Dumb redneck with a bad idea” himself, Jake Waddell. The Post-Gazette caught Waddell’s segment on Nashville’s 104.5 The Zone, and he went into great detail about the entire process.
- Step One: Bought a pair of $350 upper-bowl tickets.
- Step Two: Bought an ambitiously big catfish from a market in Tennessee.
- Step Three: Spray the fish with Old Spice and throw it in a cooler before making his way to Pittsburgh
- Step Four: Fillet the fish, cut out half the spine and run it over with his truck
- Step Five: While the size of the head still gave him some difficulty, he vacuum-packed the fish
- Step Six: He stuff the vacuum-packed fish in between a regular underwear and a pair of compression shorts
- Step Seven: Snuck down to the 100 level with the fish out of his pants and chucked it over the glass
From there, he was called a few bad names by the home fans and taken to security, where they were not all too pleased with him. Perhaps the best part of the story was the part where he couldn’t fit the head into his pants – so he just continually ran it over with his truck until it fit.
He has now lawyered up and will be fighting any charges other than the disorderly conduct citation.
We’re pretty sure having this catfish in his pants is punishment enough.
