Brian Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 He was on sometime during the last hour of Mac, Jurko, and Harry. I don't fish at all and found the story to be entertaining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanOfCorn Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 QUOTE(Queen Prawn @ May 25, 2005 -> 01:58 PM) I am glad to see they kept it alive. I saw him on ESPN 2 this morning and he was saying he caught a 94 lb. fish before, but he likes to catch and release, so he didn't get it measured officially. To get it measured by a conservation policeman, it basically has to die. Probably don't have a place in the boat big enough and who knows where the measuring station is. What's scary is that there is probably a BIGGER catfish out there. Yikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said on M,J,&H yesterday that the well of the boat they were in was big enough and he kept it alive until after it was weighed and measured. It died after it left his possession in transit to where ever it was headed to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's scary is that there is probably a BIGGER catfish out there. Yikes. I live near Kentucky Dam, which is the dam on the Tennessee River that created Kentucky Lake. Local divers swear there are catfish at the base of the dam, on the "river" side of it that are so big they can't get off the bottom of the river. They sit at the spillway and eat the fish that come through it. I've heard there are 8 foot catfish there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxFan1 Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 124 Lb, 58 in long, 44 in girth. World Record Catfish.......biggest I ever caught was a 57 lb flathead. Awesome. It's a shame it died. They were gonna hold it in a tank in a Cabelas Superstor in KC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2HH Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 There are HUGE catfish there. I go to LBL (Land Between the Lakes all the time), as a matter of fact, I'm going there the week of June 1st - 5th for some camping/fishing!

Long drive for me, but that area is so nice. We usually had an early season tournament there to try and catch a little warmer weather.
