Gary Van Pielt of Frontenac recalled a calm early October on the Kansas River with miles of sandbars and monarch butterflies as he began his maiden voyage chasing flat head catfish. He gained local renown for pulling 40 to 70 pound cats on trotlines and log lines, later hosting Jimmy Houston of ESPN in June to document his river tactics for national audiences.
