Super User Darren. Posted March 10, 2017 Super User Posted March 10, 2017 Huge cat! Fantastic accomplishment for the kiddo! Not to mention his other 100 pound Panamanian sailfish he caught. Little Larry Dahlberg in the making! 2 Quote

I think it's fake.. the biggest flathead I've seen recorded but not the official record is like 120 lbs. You're talking about an 80 + lb Jump .. impossible ? No .. unlikely .. yes.. I could be wrong. But I don't think so... Quote

I do know if it is real I wouldn't be in the water holding it!! That's the only pic I've seen as well.. I'm not convinced but would be stoked if it's true because I have quick access to the Ohio.... Oh.. and BTW.... You don't wanna go swimming in the Ohio River lol.. regardless of the fish. 3 Quote
Gooldy Posted March 15, 2017 Posted March 15, 2017 Quote "Maintaining his composure enabled Dylan to catch 10 blues over 25 pounds that day; four over 50 pounds." Wut. That is a whole lot of catfish. Quote

jr231 Posted March 15, 2017 Posted March 15, 2017 So no clarification on this supposed world record ? I heard about it weeks ago. Saw the one picture. Dismissed it. And haven't heard about it since. Only one picture ?? Come on man... Quote
Super User soflabasser Posted March 15, 2017 Super User Posted March 15, 2017 Congratulations to the young man that caught that huge catfish! 7 hours ago, lonnie g said: nice. did you see pic of giant caught out of southern end of ohio river .200 plus I think. havn't heard if this was actually confirmed. if its real, I wouldn't want to be in the water with it. I have several old books that say blue catfish over 200 pounds use to be caught in the 1800's and sold in fish markets, so I do believe its possible there might be some blue catfish over 200 pounds at this moment in time.Divers commonly report seeing catfish bigger than the current world record, so I wont be surprised if someone catches one of these giant blue catfish in the near future.

lonnie g Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 like I said seems to good to be true. interesting pic , do know that would not be me in there. i like to be the one doing the eating.a fish that size would outway most men ,and easily drown them. 1 Quote
jr231 Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 But who catches a world record catfish and only had one pic ? How would you know the weight ? It just doesn't add up.. if you Google world record flathead.. nothing about this fish comes up.. Not even an article about one being that big caught and waiting to be certified... I am a bettin man.. and I'm all in on this one. 1 Quote
clark9312 Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 Is that article saying that a 54 pound blue cat is a potential record? Quote
