Caught a 60# in a sein net fishing for specks in the surf at Cameron, La. Nasty dudes. Make great garfish balls. I think it was the world record rod n reel Al gar was caught a few years back where the Sabine river dumps into Sabine Lake on the Tx/La. border. 220#. A 2 pound hardhead catfish was used for bait. This is a worthless saltwater cat that has fins everywhere it seems.
