Mike,
Some of the details that I have not posted yet are that it was caught on 20# line by pole. Also it was a 3" dead shad that was used for bait. After I get full details on pole used, type of line and hook I will add the info to the Texas thred.

I just hope that those cats don't start growing legs. Then we would all be in trouble.

What a beautiful little fish! Here's a little more info that isn't posted in the Texas forum.
-----------------------
Texas Angler Crushes World Record
DENISON, TX—Catmen everywhere are reeling from news that Cody Mullennix, 27, of Howe, Texas, recently caught a potential world-record blue catfish from Lake Texoma. If accepted by the IGFA, the 121-pound, 8-ounce blue will become the All-Tackle and 20-pound line class world record, as well as shatter the previous state record of 100 pounds, also caught from Lake Texoma in 2000. The current world record is a 116-pound, 12-ounce fish caught on the Mississippi River.
Mullennix hooked the monster cat January 16, while fishing from the bank with a surf rod spooled with 20-pound line and rigged with a 3-inch dead shad on an 8/0 circle hook.
After beaching the big blue cat, Mullenix kept the fish alive as he rushed it to several scales before finding one large enough to handle the tremendous weight. After official weighing, he donated the live fish to the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center (TFFC) in Athens, where it is doing fine, according to hatchery manager Jim Matthews. TFFC exhibits curator Genie Hilton hopes to have the record catfish ready for public display within two weeks.

Hey davetclown, There were only 2 things missing from that nice picture.
Snow in the background and the pup needs a bluegill companion. Then we could have had a valid entry.
Nice looking pup.

Sure is a purty thing but isn't it a little on the small side to be keeping? Texas has bigger cats than that for sure.

lol one of these days we are going to have to get some of these states in the same room and say here, look at this, every state has their own set of rules records and even names for the same fish.
I think I will let you have that privilage, I would not ever want to be the one to tell any one that his record has been broken, even if it were to be me to break it.
