Catfish. DK team manager. Announcer at every major contest around the globe. Fuel TV personality. All-around freestyle rider. And a very unique individual… Catfish is one of those guys who is always on the road and always has something cool going on. But what he like at home? Turns out just as crazy as when he’s on the road. Recently while staying at Catfish’s apartment in Dayton, Ohio I came across a handful of things that I though would tell a good story. But the items couldn’t talk so I let Catfish fill us in on the seven strange things I found in his crib. - Fat
Catfish making a quarter balance on top of another quarter like magic. Yep, those are bad tattoos and that’s a stuffed penguin in on the end table. All photos and captions by Fat.
Photo Album Of People I Don’t Know
I have been collecting photos of people I don’t know for a LONG time. I bet I have close to 100 pictures that I have either stolen or found. I started taking pictures off dorm room doors in college and kept at it. Whenever I see photos hanging up in restaurants, I tried to take them for my book. I have some wild ones in there. Probably more naked people than a heterosexual man should have, but whatever. I offset it by my naked lady toys that I got in China. Six naked ladies for a dollar. Can’t beat that.
The photos inside this book are priceless. And actually quite creepy.
Lionel
This is Lionel. He is awesome. I forget where exactly I picked him up, but I most certainly have worn him driving down the road. People freak out. He’s also really good at jumping out of bushes and scaring people. Not for the weak of heart or Sigfried and Roy fans.
Not many people have things like this hanging on their wall.
Pizza Box Graveyard & Paint Booth
Out back is the pizza box graveyard and paint booth. I’m never home so when I am I always eat pizza. Best pizza ever! DONATOS! It rules because when the boxes are empty they make for great paint tester-outers. I paint my bikes all the time and the boxes make it easy to not get paint everywhere.
The original contents of that speaker box help Catfish record hilarious rap songs about everything from Lasers to Ronny Napolitan turning 18.
Painting From Singapore
This is a painting I picked up in Singapore. There is just so much shit going on in this picture it makes my head spin looking at it. I really don’t know what to say about it other than it makes me want a fast car, some fresh fruit, and condoms.
I too am at a loss for words on this one.
Lots Of Shoes
Nike 6.0 is very good to me. I’ve got shoes to match every mood, bike color, or hat that I am rocking. I’ve got more shoes with my name on them, than most people have shoes. Holler out to everyone at Nike 6.0.
No need for a rack. Just have them take up your entire bedroom. No big deal.
Lasers
If you don’t know what these are…you definitely don’t know me. These are the best things to ever happen to humanity. They are green lasers. They burn eyes and shoot for miles. I love them and will never be without them.
Not one, but four lasers. In case Ronnie Napolitan breaks one.
Baby Catfish
Damn Fat Tony for snapping a pic of me! This is me in 1988. I really don’t know what to say about this other than the fact that I was a good looking kid. Even though I was a midget. That bike is my dream build-1988 Haro Master. Big bucks on the Internet these days. Anybody got one? Hit me up catfishcatfishdotcom@gmail.com. Holla.
Hung on his refrigerator with a “Meteor Crater” magnet. Strange.

Catfish I may be wrong But I believe you picked up Lionel in 07 on your way to 4seasons in Milwaukee I think it was for a ratty contest. I remember seeing you with it there, you guys said you had picked it up.

Soo good… I almost expected a few of those things to be on here.
You need to get me on that Nike 6.0 Flow.. I think that's the only brand of BMX shoe I don't own yet haha.
