I've Heard of Barn Cats, but Barn Catfish?

Living at The Barn, we've seen lots of animals that you don't normally see at a regular house in the city. We've got cows for neighbors, seen bunny rabbits, stalked endangered gopher turtles (aka "Joe"... even though there's more than one we call all of them Joe), stayed away from the bobcats and wild boars, killed HUGE spiders, and now there are FISH!

We were away from the house all day, but while we were gone there was a big-time rain storm that flooded some areas in the county. We didn't get flooded, but the large amounts of rain brought out something that we've never seen in our yard before... fish. I assume it's a catfish of some sort, and the only thing that I can figure is that it came from the pond in front of our house. What I don't get though is that I saw 2 of them on the paved road that is way at the end of our driveway too, which is nowhere near the pond! Since getting home, I've seen at least 7 of these creatures in our yard either flooping around (which is really more like walking using their fins) or smushed (I accidently ran over a couple of them in the driveway before I noticed that they were there). Weird!!!
