Texas Cat
This is a picture of a catfish that a guy recently caught at Lake Texoma.
According to the news, he was fishing from the shore with a
20 pound test line. When he realized what a huge fish he had caught, he
stayed in the water with it and kept it close to shore with his hands.
He used his cell phone to call a friend and tell him to bring a scale.
The friend got there and the scale topped out at 100 pounds. They took it to
the nearby Bait shop and weighed it there. It weighed 121 pounds!
Luckily a Game Warden was there and called the Athens Freshwater Fisheries
Center and asked them if they wanted the fish. They sent a 'live truck'
to the sight and brought the fish safely to Athens. They are getting it
ready for the public to view. The paper said that it would be two to three
weeks before they'd release into the public tank. They estimated that the 121
pound catfish was about 27 years old
