Yowza! That one makes mine look like a minnow. Details on what it was caught on, length & weight? How old do you estimate it is? Tell her she did a good job getting it in.
thanks for the kind words y'all. we caught the fish on a piece of hot dog. we did not get any weights or measurements. when it's hot, i try to get fish back in the water asap. and this fish is so heavy, i'm afraid i might hurt it if i tried to hang it from a scale. my best guesses are that the fish is probably about 33" long. i'm gonna say probably over 20 lbs. but i could be way off one way or the other. i'm not as good at guessing on cats as i am on bass. as far as age, i don't have a clue. if i had to guess, i'm gonna say that the fish is probably about 6 - 7 years old. the catfish have never really been much more than a diversion / change of pace for me when i want to catch something that will put up a good fight, so i don't keep a lot of 'em in the pond and i don't keep up with them very well.
