Florida fisherman catches 120-pound ‘granddaddy of all catfish'
A Florida fisherman recently caught a 120-pound blue catfish in the state’s panhandle, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission (FWC) announced on Monday. While fishing on the Choctawhatchee River, Joel Singletary snagged the massive creature on his trotline. He wasn't sure if he was going to be able to pull it onto his boat, but then the “adrenaline kicked in enabling him to pull the behemoth fish onboard,” according to the FWC. http://www.foxnews.com/science/2018/...tcmp=obnetwork That is on big fish. Sadly not a record for the guy as he caught it on a trotline.

120 pounds? A catfish that big would flip my little boat if I ever tried to haul it in. The only way I could land a fish that big would be to coax it into shallower water, hop out of the boat and lift it in. Maybe.
