Looks like fun !




This photo provided by Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Chris Rolph poses with his catch of blue catfish, weighing 96 lbs. in the Ohio River near downtown Cincinnati on June 11, 2009 . Rolph's catch is 54.5 inches in length with a 36 inch girth. His catch is awaiting certification as the new state record blue catfish pending review by the Outdoor Writers of Ohio State Record Fish Committee. It will replace the first ever state record blue catfish certified in 2008 of 57 pounds 3.2 ounces.

Dont wear flip flops when you pull that in the boat. If it clamped down on your toes........

Seems like, now that the state is recognizing blues, the records don't last long. Wonder how long before an even bigger one is hauled in. In any case, what a fish! Great to see them doing so well in OH waters.
