Facing against the river current, the boat drifted slowly backward, despite the whirling trolling motor prop slashing to gain headway against the flow. As the boat glided past a hump 50 feet below, the rod tip twitched ever so slightly. Then, the stout rod bent over double as a river monster inhaled the offering. Big rivers hold massive catfish, but anglers must search for them. It takes years for a catfish to reach at least 50 pounds and few do. Even fewer hit the 100-pound plateau. To find ...

America the Beautiful

The South Alabamian News Podcast ·

2024/07/03

This past Sunday our church sang “America the Beautiful.” I love to sing the old patriotic hymns around July 4th. We sang several together and most in our congregation could sing the old hymns by heart. In 1893, Katharine Lee Bates was inspired to write the words after a train trip from Massachusetts to Colorado Springs to teach English at Colorado College. Imagine that trip in terms of the lyrics Bates wrote. The words began to come to her as she reflected on the wheat fields of Kansas and s...

There have been some significant elections already this year in the Heart of Dixie as we await a titanic presidential election in the fall.

There were 11 Democrats and eight Republicans running for their p...

Never argue with a master arguer

The South Alabamian News Podcast ·

2024/07/03

One of the most memorable lines I ever heard in high school was delivered to my friend Randy when he got into a heated disagreement with our English teacher, Mrs. Duncan. After about five exasperating minutes, she put an end to it when she said, “If you want to argue, ’lil Randy, get yourself a wife.” Words of wisdom, Mrs. Duncan. If you’re in a relationship for any length of time, you are going to have arguments. And when it comes to Carol, my wife of almost 50 years, I’ve learned how to han...
