You know they say everything really is bigger in Texas...eheh This catfish was caught at Lake Texoma..a new state record at 140 lbs. Just thought I would share for my fellow anglers and anglerettes out there in XJWland. eheh that's quite a lot of fish and chips innit? ....Have a good day everyone.

Are you sure the fish is that big?
Maybe the 2 guys are just runts.

Dang Travis, thats one helluva catch.
Would be a heck of a fish fry accept catfish always tastes muddy to me.
What the heck were they using for bait, a vagrant? :)
Thunder
eh Thunder...not sure what they used for bait...maybe a small dog that ran astray like it wasn't supposed to..ahem..eheh And ya I doubt they will eat that one..it will probably go to the Texas Freshwater Fishery.

Well, that just set me back a couple of years in getting over my phobia of fish.
Valis,
Is that real? How can they hold that thing in shallow water? Every catfish I have ever caught thrashes like the devil, I would think those guys would be getting pummeled.
btw, happy 10,000th post.

p.s. I try to imagine my self swimming in a lake with my goggles on and coming face to face with that. Now that is a nightmare in the making.
eh Sirius...yes very real..divers report even bigger fish...but they aren't so easily caught...they have also been know to pull john boats under water..

Urban Legends (SNOPES) says:
The photograph is a real one, and the fish pictured may actually weigh close to 140 pounds , but the picture wasn't taken at Lake Texoma (and the fish shown isn't a blue catfish). It's a photograph taken out of context from a French web site devoted to catfish angling and circulated with a fictional explanation, created a mixed bag of "real photo, inaccurate description."
Ok that's enormous.
