    The pending Kansas Blue Cat state record. This fish was caught on an Abu Garcia 7000ic3 reel by Robert Stanley also pictured is his fishing partner Brad Kilpatrick of Kansas City Catfish. This fish broke the 12 year old Kansas record of 94 lbs. Robs fish is 56 3/4″ long, 39″ girth, and tipped the scales at 102.8 lbs. This fish was released alive!!!

    That would make the old 7000 sing!

    That’s a dandy fish. Takes a pretty good sized fish to get to where I can say I’ve never caught a catfish even HALF that big.

    Again, released alive! I love it. This right after the south dakota monster was caught and released. Wow, what is the world coming to!

    The flathead length/girth weight estimator (length * length * girth / 1275) puts this fish at abut 99 lbs. Good to know it’s reasonably accurate that high even on multi-species action. This will be handy for when I have to throw back the 100 lb channel cat in the MN river and my scale is bottomed out.

    The fact that record class are being released is awesome! Congrats to these guys, watching a fish that big come up and then watching it go back down is awesome.

    Jeff Williams from Team Catfish told me about it yesterday. I’ll see if I can find out more.
