"Fishing Blues" is a blues song first recorded in 1928 by Henry Thomas "Ragtime Texas" (vocals, guitar, and quills (a type of panpipe, which he played while also playing his guitar)). Some later versions by other artists call it "Fishin' Blues".
The song ostensibly describes the pleasures of catching, cooking, and eating your own fish, particularly catfish. The refrain runs:
Here's a little somethin' I would like to relate,
Any fish bite, you've got good bait,
I'm a-goin' a-fishin', yes, I'm a-goin' a-fishin',
I'm a-goin' a-fishin' too.
In 1930, the Carter Brothers (Armenter "Bo Carter" Chatmon, perhaps with his brothers Lonnie and Sam Chatmon) recorded an unreleased track for Okeh Records titled "Any Fish Will Bite if You Got Good Bait". This may have been the same song; suggesting that it may have been traditional rather than written by Thomas.
Blues is a posthumouscompilation album by musician Jimi Hendrix, released April 26, 1994, on MCA Records. The album contains eleven blues songs recorded by Hendrix between 1966 and 1970. Out of these eleven, six were previously unreleased. The tracks include seven of Hendrix's compositions along with covers of famous blues songs such as "Born Under a Bad Sign" and "Mannish Boy". Most of the album's material consists of leftover studio tapes that Hendrix might have never intended to release.
Compiled by MCA and released in 1994, Blues was met with favorable criticism and multiple chart success, selling over 500,000 copies in its first two years of release. On February 6, 2001, Blues was certified platinum in sales by the Recording Industry Association of America. The album was re-released on Experience Hendrix Records in 1998, following the Hendrix family's acquisition of the musician's recordings.
This collection was re-released again in October 2010 as part of the Hendrix family's project to remaster Jimi's discography.
Ipswich Town Football Club (/ˈɪpswɪtʃˈtaʊn/; also known as Ipswich, The Blues, Town, or The Tractor Boys) is an English professional association football team based in Ipswich, Suffolk. As of the 2014–15 season, they play in the Football League Championship, having last appeared in the Premier League in 2001–02.
The club was founded in 1878 but did not turn professional until 1936, and was subsequently elected to join the Football League in 1938. They play their home games at Portman Road in Ipswich. The only fully professional football club in Suffolk, they have a long-standing and fierce rivalry with Norwich City in Norfolk, with whom they have contested the East Anglian derby 139 times since 1902. The club's traditional home colours are blue shirts and white shorts.
Ipswich won the English league title once, in their first season in the top flight in 1961–62, and have twice finished runners-up, in 1980–81 and 1981–82. They won the FA Cup in 1977–78, and the UEFA Cup in 1980–81. They have competed in the top two tiers of English football uninterrupted since 1957–58, currently the longest streak among Championship clubs after Coventry were relegated in the 2011–12 season. They have competed in all three European club competitions, and have never lost at home in European competition, defeating Real Madrid, AC Milan, Internazionale, Lazio and Barcelona, among others.

Fishin' Blues_No Copyright Infringement Intended
Henry Thomas (1874-1950s?[1]) was an American pre-World War II country blues singer, songster and musician. He was often billed as "Ragtime Texas".
Thomas was born in Big Sandy, Texas. He began his musical career as an itinerant songster and recorded twenty-three sides for Vocalion Records between 1927 and 1929. Thomas accompanied himself on guitar and on quills, a folk instrument fabricated from cane reeds, and would play both instruments and provide vocals for the same song. The instrument is similar in sound to the zampona, used by musicians in Peru and Bolivia.
His springy guitar-playing, probably inspired by banjo-picking styles, implies that he was used to performing for dances.[2]

Henry Thomas (1874-1950s?[1]) was an American pre-World War II country blues singer, songster and musician. He was often billed as "Ragtime Texas".
Thomas was born in Big Sandy, Texas. He began his musical career as an itinerant songster and recorded twenty-three sides for Vocalion Records between 1927 and 1929. Thomas accompanied himself on guitar and on quills, a folk instrument fabricated from cane reeds, and would play both instruments and provide vocals for the same song. The instrument is similar in sound to the zampona, used by musicians in Peru and Bolivia.
His springy guitar-playing, probably inspired by banjo-picking styles, implies that he was used to performing for dances.[2]
His legacy has been sustained by his songs which were later covered by musicians after the folk music revival. "Fishin' Blues" was covered by Taj Mahal and The Lovin' Spoonful. "Bull Doze Blues" was recorded by Canned Heat, retitled "Goin' Up The Country". Here Thomas's melody on quills was reproduced note for note by flautist Jim Horn. "Don't Ease Me In" was covered by the Grateful Dead on their album Go to Heaven; and "Honey Won't You Allow Me One More Chance" was covered by Bob Dylan (as "Honey Just Allow Me One More Chance") on The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan. Thomas's vintage recording of "Don't Ease Me In" is included on the compilation album The Music Never Stopped: Roots of the Grateful Dead. In 1993 the band Deacon Blue released a song entitled "Last Night I Dreamed Of Henry Thomas" on their Whatever You Say, Say Nothing album. In addition, his arrangement for "Cottonfield Blues" was performed by early Delta Blues musicians Garfield Akers and Mississippi Joe Callicott in 1929.
The whereabouts of Thomas after 1929 have not been chronicled, although he was reportedly seen in Texas in the 1950s.[3] The date and circumstances of his death are uncertain. His complete Vocalion recordings were compiled on a 1990 Yazoo Records CD titled Texas Worried Blues. (Wikipedia)

That number reflects blue catfish and channel catfish combined, but Baird said the Neighborhood Fishin' program relies exclusively upon channel catfish ... "We last stocked blue catfish in 2004 with over 130,000 fingerlings.".
