I read about that fish and saw pics yesterday. He caught the fish Saturday (I think) and while they were transporting it to Cabela's (he kept the fish alive) to put on display in their tank, it died :-(

My mom sent this to me a while ago, WOW, think it was from Texas this year sometime. How would you like to reel that thing up towards your feet dangling in the water? Not me!

Actually John, that was part of an internet 'hoax'. There was a 100+ lb cat caught out of Lake Texoma. But somewhere along the road (about 1 week after it was on the net) someone substituted the original pic with that one. The fish in that pic is a Welch Cat. Not found in North America. ;-)
