I got the filet knife and hot oil if you got the cornmeal.

Pruitt, casting his line in the Mississippi River on Sunday, hauled up a 58-inch long, 44-inch around blue catfish that weighed a whopping 124-pounds.

Do they still taste OK when they're that big?

It's going to a KC restaurant, live, for display. Would it be tasty at that size?

 

[HomeLAN]

Don't know, but I'd be willing to try.

Might need a chainsaw instead of a filet knife.

By the time it gets through the endless world record certification processes its going to be rotten.

Yeah, cat's are a little different that some other things.
They are about the same at any size.
There have been some here in lake Lanier mapped at 1200lbs.

This Mekong giant catfish was weighed at 646 pounds by researchers working on a project to identify, study and conserve large freshwater fish around the world.

Anybody else find this ironic?

 

[HomeLAN]

Maybe they practiced catch and release.

On a cat that big? A critter that big would crush its innards by the time the shot was taken.
