OK, we know everyone or almost everyone who checks in here has bass fishing on the brain but this is too good to ignore.
A Missouri couple fishing earlier this week on the Missouri River landed a 130-pound blue catfish. If certified, it will become the world record for the species and supplant the 124-pound record caught five years ago. It also would obliterate the 19-year old Missouri record — by 27 pounds!
We love bass fishing. But we really love … fishing. Whether from a shiny rigged boat on some wildly famous lake or on the bank of a crick with some crickets and a cork float, it’s in our blood. How many of us grew up catching whatever would bite, including blue cats, and at some point thinking about a world record while battling a big ol’ line-tugger? Probably many of us.
