Catfish are a diverse group of ray-finned fish known for their prominent barbels (whiskers).
Jim "Catfish" Hunter was a major league pitcher for the Oakland Athletics and New York Yankees.
Here is the Bob Dylan reference. Catfish Hunter was the only baseball player who was the subject of a Dylan song.
Catfishing refers to the creation of a fictitious online persona, or fake identity (typically on social networking platforms), with the intent of deception, usually to mislead a victim into an online romantic relationship or to commit financial fraud. When I meet new people online these days, I don't know if they are real or catfishing. In any event, they turn into ghosts within a few days.
