Said he'd just hauled in a 50lb catfish with his brother when he found out he made the pro bowl.

Shoot got a phone call right when the segment popped up. NFL.com will post the vid later.

there was a great piece in the program last week about Ratliff. He is a great player and a great guy.

It's actually a pretty long segment (5 mins or so). I hate that I can't recap it. But the interview ran the gamut.

His PB selection. the other players. The T.O. drama. The state of the team.

Basically gave him congrats for being voted into the PB.

Jay Ratliff was named to his first Pro Bowl on Tuesday, and the nose tackle caught a 50-pound catfish on Lake Lewisville with his brother, Willie, who graduated Saturday from Valdosta State.

"I was screaming and my brother was jumping all over the place, all over the boat," Ratliff said. "Then I got a text message and I didn't believe it. I had some friends who played a joke on me during the draft that said, 'Are you ready to be a Falcon?' on the first day of the draft. Of course it was a joke. But I called the number and it was official. It was for real."

Ratliff has a career-high seven sacks this year and he leads the defensive linemen with 72 tackles. He has a team-high 28 pressures as well as four pass deflections and he is tied for third with four tackles for loss.

He better not eat that entire catfish because we need him lean and mean and in shape for Saturday night!

This just begs for a photoshop job. Ratliff doing the hulk thing with a big catfish between his hands. Someone make it happen.

They're catfish, not ratfish. But then again it is Ratliff and not Catliff. :
