New record Blue Catfish

I saw on ESPN this morning that a new world record blue cat was caught in the Mississippi River. An Illinios man caught the 124 lb. catfish sunday morning. The fish has been kept alive and is currently residing in the Kansas City Cabelas fish tank.

I had heard about this story on the news this morning while driving into work. There are some enormous cats in the Mississippi!

I also heard that reportedly, this catfish had died during the transportation process
