    Didn’t see the news, but there’s a few other posts around here somewhere that have pics and the story. 124 pounds from the mississippi…NOT BAD at all……Kind of interesting the previous 121lb record was just caught in the past year as well. Just goes to show our fisheries are thriving!!

    There was some pretty good footage of the fish on ESPN SportsCenter the other day. Truly an impressive fish.

    I know there was talk of letting the fish go back into the river.

    Too late for that now. It died on its way to Cabelas.

    Yes it was too bad it died in transit. The Today show had the lucky fisherman and his wife on this morning. While he made a GREAT catch, they were not a compelling interview, had to feel for them and Katie both. The story was topical…but you don’t always get the gold.

    It was an interview with a catfisherman, how compelling could it be. Almost as bad as interviewing a bass fisherman. Just not much to work with!!
