I would just like to share this with ya'll. What a great catch! Kudos to Chris Rolph! It looks like he caught it on a rod and reel too. All I can say is "WOW". I am so excited for him! Congrats Chris!
Happy Fishing!
I found this story in Yahoo! News. AP Associated Press http://news.yahoo.com/nphotos/Ohio-Department-of-Natural%20Resources/photo//090611/480/212688d509754cf295c495afb006b822/;_ylt=AhP7co70jmZe0lkpen8gp6ADW7oF
Your wow! and add to that an Idaho wow! That is some fish. I wonder how long it took to land that big guy?
ReplyDeletewow great catch.
ReplyDeleteProbably won't be very cheap to have that thing mounted!
ReplyDeleteThink of all the catfish fritters. Tasty.
ReplyDeleteI can't even imagine what the fight would be like on a cat like that. The best I've ever had was a 15-20 pound channel cat, and that thing was a bear to bring in!
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing catch, that thing looks like it could eat you for breakfast!
ReplyDeleteHope you're doing okay - we've missed hearing from you for a while now ;0)
Best wishes -x-
One great fish.
ReplyDeleteThat is a true monster, I have got some 10 -15 lbers in the Ohio river near Pittsburgh and they fought like crazy. A 96 lber would be crazy.
