Source: Examiner.com: The possible new world record Blue Catfish in Missouri is 130 pounds!! Beating the old state record by 27 pounds, the fish was 57 inches long and 45 inches around. Greg Bernal said he fought the mammoth cat for 30 minutes before landing it and another 30 minutes just fighting to get it in the boat (not a bad problem to have) with the help of his girlfriend. No big dinner planned here though, Bernal says he will mount it on the wall. The big blue is waiting for confirmation by the International Game Fish Association, but if approved it will beat the world record by a nice 6 pounds.
