    Default What do you even do with 65 pounds of catfish?

    I like catfish deep fried, but holy crap!!!



    N. Texas Man Reels In 65-Pound Catfish



    LEWISVILLE LAKE (CBS 11 News) ― A local man has a fish story that probably beats any tales his friends can tell--and he has the picture to prove it's true.

    Royce Coker, of The Colony, was trolling for sand bass with a rod and reel at Lewisville Lake yesterday.

    Coker says he thought his line was caught on something--but then he realized that "something" was pulling back.

    After 45 minutes of fighting, Coker says he landed a monster of a fish: a 65-pound channel catfish.

    Coker was in a 16-foot bass boat, and he says he had a hard time pulling it into the boat.

    Texas Parks and Wildlife says if the catch is verified, it would be a new record for the lake. The previous record-holder weighed just 22 and a half pounds.

    Been deep sea fishing a couple times, but both times for Rock fish (cod, etc.) Good times, caught our limit both times.

    That's a nice catch, I have caught bigger ones out the Missouri river, I caught 2, one 75 pounds and the other 69. I caught a 50 pounder in the Osage river down around Jefferson City once too.

    What do you do with them? Well these big guys are not the best eating of the bunch, but you have a big fish fry with them.


    Are you man enough? Eric Berry? Apparently Not!

    I have not done this, or caught a cat fish anywhere close to that! But I was told at one time that you can put them in a tank of water, if still alive, for a period of time and flush out the muddy taste, any truth to that?
