Well this badboy didn't miss. The IL state record blue catfish was 85 lbs and the record was crushed. Check out the new WORLD RECORD blue catfish that was caught Saturday night below the lock and dam at Alton. The fisherman caught a 95 lb cat last year but he didn't feel he was prepared to keep the fish alive and turned it loose. The fisherman agreed to let Cabela's display the fish in Kansas City for a few weeks and then is requiring them to turn the fish loose, as per their agreement. The fish's stats: 124 lbs, 58" long, 44" girth Photo and story on: www.heartlandoutdoorsman.com Please credit if used Mike Clifford Spring Photo Contest w/Free Photo Software, Gear, etc. Heartland Outdoorsman :: Index www.illinoiswaters.net/heartland About the author: Mike is publisher of an outdoors website, and conservation enthusiast.Read similar articles: Iron Mike and Boxing KOedProfile of the Online Bingo Player 5 Top Tips To Win More With Any Lottery Test Flying For Fun - RC Aircraft and Helicopters Primitive Navigation in the Outdoors Hypothermia Understanding Frostbite If You're Ever Lost in the Outdoors! 20 Tips on Sleeping Warm in the Outdoors The Mountain Environment
