From an on-line group, I knew of the fish's story but not its location. The city claims it's a sign and must come down. Pepper says the 25 foot catfish, with nary a word attached, is art. After taking a few pictures, I talked with Mr. Pepper and signed his list of supporters. Besides citing the Dixie Highway bait shop, the city has cited a Hooter's across town for a pair of lighted fake palm trees. That citation prompted a law suit. Apparently the city's definition of a sign is a bit vague and it would seem that examples of "selective enforcement" can only help. If Pepper's catfish survives, Hooters' palm trees (and deeper pockets) will have played a large role. Check out some local news coverage here.
