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."
I couldn't find the picture on the website. Do you happen to know what page it is on?
Sorry, couldn't find it either, but you can find the actually record holding catfish for Lake Texahoma at Snopes.com, type in Catfish.
Okay, thanks, Yeru.
Doh! *LOL* Thanks Yeru...I got that from a good friend of mine...and to think you couldn't trust sweet little old librarian ladies! There will be revenge!

the picture maybe real, but the fish is possible from 'plastic'
"Nessie Catfish"
Oh aye, that catfish is friggin 'uge!! Get your phone wife to fire up the grill, I'll go get a loaf and we could feed bloody Scotland for a day.

Hmmm, for some reason it won't link directly to that photo.
Oh well, it is photo 713.
Well there you go Desi,
Imagine that swimming around your feet and accidently brush against your leg, you would pitch a fit then hmmmm?
Just Kidding,
Well, that just set me back a couple of years in getting over my phobia of fish.
LOL Desi
