Predators fan reveals his elaborate plan to sneak catfish into Game 1

Jacob Waddell, the Nashville Predators fan who launched a catfish onto the ice surface at Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final on Monday night, revealed his master plan for sneaking it into PPG Paints Arena, and boy, it's something.

Waddell has been charged with possessing an instrument of crime, disorderly conduct, and disrupting a meeting, but Tuesday he explained to Sean Gentille of The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette how he managed to get it done.

Waddell proclaimed himself to be "a dumb redneck with a bad idea," and his complete itinerary for the stunt included:

• Buying a pair of $350 upper-bowl tickets, and transporting the fish from Tennessee to Game 1 in Pittsburgh.
• Dousing the fish in Old Spice cologne to compensate for the smell.
• Filleting the fish and running it over with his truck multiple times because
  "the head was too damn big."
• Stuffing the fish between his underwear and a pair of compression shorts, which were covered up by a pair of baggy pants.
• Wandering down to the lower level with the fish wrapped in a complimentary T-shirt, then launching it onto the ice.

Waddell apparently shared his idea with a local radio station, which offered to pay any fine in support of taking "Smashville Fever" on the road.

Anything for hockey, right?
