Been hearing rumors of a possible new world record blue cat caught last night at Buggs Island Lake (Kerr Reservoir) down on the Virginia/North Carolina line. Details are still sketchy. Supposedly it was caught during a Catfish Showdown tournament, but their scales only went to a 100 pounds, so they took it to a feedstore and it tipped the scales at 143.

Haven't seen any goods pics yet, but I did find this one....

I'm sure we'll be hearing much more if it's true!

Life is just a series of obstacles preventing you from fishing.

That fish is definitely a monster. It seems almost impossibly big. what is the previous world record blue?

I wonder how old that fish is to get to that size.

daybreak: Always loved Labor Day weekend. Time for those jet skis and speed boats to go back in storage and make room on the lakes for us fishermen again. (:))
