I wasn’t sure where to post this but figured I’d put it here, as this place gets a lot of posts and reads.
I looked at the freshwater and lake forums but they’ve had about 6 posts in as many months.
Someone HAS to see this fish!
My buddy David caught this last w/e on Lake Moultrie. He sent pictures in to Fish Finder or Fish & Hunt, whatever that free little magazine is. It should be in there next month. Might even make the cover!
It is “around” 90#'s. Couldn’t weigh it accurately because it was too big and the tail was laying on the ground.
Anyway, here is the picture he sent me:

My understanding is the state record is still at 109#'s, caught in the Tail Race in 1998.
A 136#er was caught in 2012, but it was caught on a trotline, so not a new record. I mention this to make others aware that there IS a new state record out there, somewhere…

I caught this one on lake wylie in 35 ft water using cut pieces of
too old chicken . Bait is sometimes hard to come by this time of year so I try to keep some in freezer. I didn’t see it personally
but read report today 1/24/15 of one 80 plus pounder caught yesterday
I think , same lake.

Never having caught, or even seen a catfish of that size, I’ve got to ask if they are good to eat when that big? If so, that’s a lot of sandwiches:sunglasses:

He cooked some the other night and it tasted just fine.
I think he ended up with 35-40 pounds of meat off this one.

IMO chunking it up for big nuggets always works for my crowd, also
made into a good stew/soup is always awesome ., when they
are this large you can make filet steaks any size you want!!!
