Captor’s Comments:

This is a lake record catfish and was caught on a chub deadbait that was just hair rigged to a size 4 korda wide gape. The fight was amazing and funny enough i believe i hooked one just before on the same rod but it came off so i just chucked it back out there anywhere just in frustration of losing the other one. Just want to say thanks to Colin and Val for letting me be able to catch such an incredible monster i wont ever forget it. Did go on to catch another one the next night which was 60lb.
