This Is What Regulations Due For Blue Cats

[Seth]

It was caught this morning around 1am up river from the Columbia Bottoms boat ramp. It was 57" long, 46" girth, and weighed 130 pounds. They had to wait till 9am to get it officially weighed and sadly the fish perished. It lived a good long live and passed those monster genes on to many other catfish along the way though.

Here's a couple of pictures. The first is the angler that caught it I believe and the second is a member of the Gateway Cats catfishing club I'm a member of it who just happened to be close by when he heard about it and came to watch the weigh in a took a pic.

That Paul Blart weighs around 380, benches over 500, and lifts trucks for fun just in case you ever meet him in person and want to say that to him. Actually he'd probably just laugh. He's a member of the Gateway Cats club I'm in and the nicest dude you'd ever meet. He's scary huge though! I wouldn't want to be the bad guy in a dark alley with him on my tail. He isn't the one who caught the fish though, he just happened to be close by while on patrol and came to see it weighed in person.

Rod and reel (old rod and reel record was 124 pounds caught on the Mississippi between the Mo river and Alton Dam)

Bait: cut asian carp

Line: 40 pound mono on a Penn 209 reel

Lol, I did not intend to ruffle any feathers with my comment, the guy DOES look like Kevin James in that pic (to me) and that is nothing bad, so sorry if it upset you, that wasn't my intent.

Additionally, I am glad at least one good thing has came from those asian carp.

Don't sweat it. You didn't ruffle any feathers. I know you was just funning and you ain't the first post I've seen online saying the exact same thing LOL.

Asian carp are what a lot of guys I know prefer for bait on the river during August when the fish start feeding heavy again. Just get one to jump in the boat and you got plenty of bait for a night of fishing.
