New state record catfish: 140 lbs. caught in Lake Texoma. This is one of those legendary fish that scuba divers say they see at the bottom of dams that are big enough to eat a person. They say that catfish this old are well over 100 years old.
Yowza!

I wonder, how was it...."caught" ? South of the Mason Dixon Line,
"caught" can mean gaffed, speared, electrocuted, stunned, poisined,
harpooned,shot, run over with a boat prop, dynamited, trapped, coralled,
hooked on a trot line or bush bob, or clubbed. If they caught it
with a rod & reel, I'm very impressed!

dynamite?
I dont know the whole story, but I went to college w/ the guy on the right.
My guess is that no reel was involved.

No reel involved, what a surprise, any way they got it, I gotta respect
that!

Going by the expression on the one on the right, it'll be served with Fava beans and a nice Chianti.

I hope they do turn him into food instead of just a picture.

What crime did the kitty commit, I wonder?

You have been found to exist. Sentence will be carried out forthwith!

Ahhhh. I liked the Hyena vid you refer to. We do need more of that.

Not sound like a pussy, but what did the cat do? I really wish that one vid on Rammie where the Cat fought would of just had better aim and ripped that guys throat out.

Anyway, about the fish... I thought fish that big were bullshit stories... if I may be permitted a small pun... HOLY SHIT!

Considering that Puma are killing people more and more often, and are very fond of pet food [dogs, cats, llamas, horses, cattle, sheep, etc.] it's big crime may have been proximity

there have been cougar sightings hot & heavy in my county lately,
no proof exists yet though. Several reliable people reported seeing
it. However until the game warden sees it, it's the equivalent of a
Sasquatch or a Yeti. The game wardens around here are jokes.
Last year we had a bear on the loose & it climbed 40 feet up into a tree.
The game wardens bright idea was to shoot it full of dope. 40 FOOT UP !Even a moron could guess what happened next, the bear got to feelin
woozy & took one of them false steps, then gravity took over. Bear
died of internal injuries. Right then & there the warden should have
been lynched. My opinion, they ought to start stocking bears, cougars
and wolves the way they stock trout. Just to make it interesting.
