wow thats a monster!!!!!! :o So that beat the now famous cat (121 pounder) caught in texas?
-
Amazing. Plus caught below a dam in the Missisippi above St. Louis, in powerful current and a flow of 115,000 cfs. Now that is tons of water.
I think the record will top 150 within ten years though. In fisherman and biologists say 150 - 200 pound blues almost for sure still exist.

200# cat wow i couldnt even imagine hauling in a catfish that weighs as much as me :o

I've seen very old pics of blues from the Missourri River that were a solid 50 pounds heavier than that hog. I have no doubt that they get that big at all, its all just a matter of time.

:o That's some fish. Mr. Pruitt musn't be a small lad to be curling 124 lb. like that and making it look easy...then again, the adrenaline might have something to do with it.
-
Yea but if you look at his neck it looks like he is about ready to either pass out or drop the fish :-\ :-\ :-\
-
yeah he is a short stocky guy his arms are huge and probably looks like he is going to pass out because he has nerve damage on one of his arms and cant straighten it and im sure that fish is doing more damage lol

You guys ever watch the hunt for big fish??
That guy Larry was fishing for cats in S America and was pulling fish that had to be 150 easy, some of the fish needed two or three guys to hold it up. The was as tall as the guys holding it??
