That's Awesome! A State Record at 9 years old!

I have a nephew that's nine and going by his weight....that's quite an accomplishment for a little guy bringing in a fish like that! Nice Job young Mr. Richardson!  :clapping:

Nice fish. The Conn river has been getting secret plantings of channel cats for at least a decade.  Illegal plantings.  I know a few of the folks responsible for it.  ;) I'll be sure to pass this on to them.  I've seen a 20 pounder pulled from there on the Vermont side, I don't think the guy reported it but the picture is hanging up on the wall at Steve's bait shop.

Outstanding!  Job well done, that's a forever smile on that one, and at 9,  By the time Mr. Richardson reaches the legal drinking age the fish will be over 50 pounds, being as most fish gain weight over the years after they are caught  :D.  So congrats on your someday to be 50# Blue Chanel Cat.....LOL
But in all seriousnes, Great JOB!
