Record Catfish Caught With Barbie Fishing Pole
NBC:
ELKIN, N.C. — A North Carolina man caught a state-record-sized channel catfish with his granddaughter’s Barbie fishing pole.
David Hayes was fishing with his granddaughter, Alyssa, when she had to take a bathroom break in Wilkes County earlier this month.
Hayes held her pink Barbie fishing rod while the girl was gone and quickly snagged a 21-pound channel catfish.
The fish was longer than the pole!

August 22nd, 2008 at 10:25 pmProbably a record for the type of catfish that it is, some species don’t get very large. I think it’s channel cat that don’t get too big, or blue — not sure.
