Question relating
I read the story "Shopping at Walmart" by Lady T. It's interesting but I can not understand the last line. I guess the phrases Duck Call and Catfish Bait must have some special meaning here. Please explain if possible. Thanks.

catfish bait is a fishing bait made especially to catch a fish found in north america called a catfish(the name has nothing to do with a cat)

Duck calls and catfish bait
Actually, the name of the catfish has everything to do with the cat. The catfish is a scavenger, and it has tentacles around it's mouth that look very much like a cat's whiskers. That's why we call it a catfish.
But the point of the joke is that when the woman breaks wind,(when she "farts") she makes a sound that the blind man mistakes for the sound of a duck call, and an odor he mistakes for the smell of catfish bait.
