    That is one big catfish. Thanks for sharing the video.
    I wonder what the length and girth measurements are?

    I just got an email from a colleague in Indiana. He told me the set line flathead catfish Missouri state record was just broken too. Think there will be a press release about that one soon, might not make the news here though. Was 99 lbs, 53.6″ long, 35″ girth, caught on a bank pole in the Missouri River.

    Holy shi… err… poop!

    That’s one big-@$$ flattie. I wish they got that big up here.

    Frankly I’ve no doubt they do, in the most inaccessible sections of the best rivers, like the MN.

    Shee-wow-whoa, dude…

    If you read up a few posts, it’s the new Missouri setline record and possibly breaks a few other records too…
