    "In a photo from Tim Pruitt and provided by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, Tim Pruitt, of Alton, Ill., holds a 124-pound blue catfish early Sunday morning, May 22, 2005, that he hooked late Saturday on the Mississippi River near Alton. The fish is 58 inches long and 44 inches around. It took Pruitt more than a half-hour to drag the fish into his boat. It is the largest of its kind in state history, and is expected to be certified a world record by the International Game Fish Association."

    Dang!! Nearly 5 feet long!!

    Too bad he died. [img]frown.gif[/img]

    The fish.... not the man. [img]wink.gif[/img]

    pfft.....that's nothing. You should see the bluefin tuna we get around here in the summer. 500-1200lbs. They make that catfish look like bait.

    Funny that a "lawyer" posted this. [img]wink.gif[/img]


    Old joke.

    What's the difference between a carp (or catfish) and a lawyer?

    One's a scum sucking bottom dweller and the other is a fish.

    <font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">The difference being that's a normal weight range for bluefin tuna, whereas that catfish is a new world record for the class.... it's all relative. [img]wink.gif[/img]

    I met the world record holder for largest lake trout a few years back. He's a priest from somewhere stateside. I can't remember exactly, but I think it was around 140lb - caught it in Alaska. It had a couple of 5 pounders in its belly.
