40 lb Blue cat on 4 lb line

[Reelfisherman]

a friend of mine was crappie fishin on Lay Lake friday afternoon. he was slowly working a 1/32 oz crappie tube on the bottom, stopping it and letting the crappie suck it up. but instead a 40 lb cat sucked it up and took off out to the middle of the channel. after 30 min of fighting he landed it.

Is this a Line class record? it was 40.66lbs on certified meat scales at a grocery store. he caught it on a spinning rod with 4lb. mono. no net.
