113-Pound Blue Cat Sets New California Record
From San Diego’s The Union-Tribune:
San Diego is known worldwide for its heavyweight largemouth bass, but it was a giant blue catfish that set a record Thursday at San Vicente.
Steve Oudomsouk, 58, of San Diego landed a 113.4-pound blue catfish while fishing off Quaide Point at the reservoir. The catch shattered the state record for blue catfish, a 101-pounder caught and released at San Vicente by Roger Rohrbouck in 2000.
I can only imagine! I love catching big cats - but when I think big cats, I think of 20 pounders...100 pound cat must pull like a son of a gun!
